The independents I get, but how do Democrats staunchly support the Second Amendment? When the representative they elected votes in favor of gun control legislation, do they file petitions to have that representative recalled? When the ATF enacts restrictive new rules on firearms, or an anti-gun leftist is nominated to the Supreme Court, do they call for the presidents impeachment? Do they vote for Trump, because they know Harris and Clinton have no respect for the second amendment? I'm missing something here.

In the end, the only thing that matters, is who you send to Washington or your state capitol, everything else is blowing smoke. You can beat your chest and shout your support through a megaphone, but you're only fooling yourself and other like-minded Democrats. You might as well be marching in a parade led by a bunch of Muslim malcontents, carrying a banner proclaiming "Jews for Palestine" or "gays for Palestine". I suspect that you(?) and all the other 2A Democrats will continue on in this charade, as long as enough Republicans keep getting sent to Washington to insulate you from the consequences of your poor decisions.

You certainly are missing something Tim, maybe more than one thing. I staunchly support the 2A, but it is the whole constitution that I really cherish, picking an choosing which parts of the constitution to support just doesn't sound that patriotic to me. I believe in checks and balances, holding accountable those that try to illegally influence our elections, and having an executive that understands and respects the limit of his position in our government.

The idea that your opinion of how another American votes matters is contradictory to very premise of the founding of our Republic, you get your vote but so do the Jews for Palestine folks.

The charade is that somehow your opinion is the only one that matters and that other viewpoints are inherently wrong. Maybe a brush up civics class would help you to understand how a representative democracy works, you certainly appear deeply confused.
