FWIW, I know bunches of Democrats who are staunch 2A supporters, and even more independents who are.
I saw this statement when it was first posted on pg.1 of this Thread. The only possible way it could be true if if these "bunches of Democrats, and even more Independents" did not vote or support politicians who have an anti-2nd Amendment voting record. If any of them voted for or supported Biden, Obama, the Clintons, Al Gore, and legions of other politicians, mostly Democrat, with undeniable anti-gun records, then there is no way they are staunch 2A supporters. (Note: I never voted for my Republican Senator Pat Toomey after he sided with Obama on Gun Control... we have free will.)
I resisted the urge to immediately comment, and decided to wait a bit to see what others had to say. I was sure there would be others who also saw the ridiculousness of it. I was also sure the usual suspects would applaud it.
The thought that anyone who merely owns or shoots guns is a "staunch 2A supporter" is a false and dishonest notion advanced by those who support the insane "Big Tent" theory that says gun owners as a whole are stronger if we all stick together. Unfortunately, voting for those who continually infringe upon Gun Rights is not sticking together. That is undermining and back-stabbing those who actually are working and voting to maintain and secure our 2nd Amendment Rights. The only reason they continue to enjoy Gun Rights is because of the votes and efforts of those who do understand that supporting anti-gunners is counterproductive. And stupid.
Let me try to simplify this so that even a mentally retarded person might understand...
Nobody in their right mind would say that someone who donates to or supports a politician who favors late term abortion is a staunch pro-life supporter.
Nobody in their right mind would say that a Pentagon employee who gives classified military secrets to the Chinese is a staunch U.S. patriot.
Nobody in their right mind would say a Cop who breaks into a house and takes personal property without a Warrant is a staunch 4th Amendment Supporter.
Nobody in their right mind would say that a dictator who shuts down Free Speech, Newspapers, and Religion is a staunch supporter of 1st Amendment principles.
92 years have passed since the National Firearms Act of 1934. For 92 years, there has been a sustained effort by mostly one Party to infringe upon or eliminate Gun Rights. The only possible excuse for any gun owner with even a room temperature I.Q. to say this ain't so is if they have their heads up their ass. As the late Charlie Kirk would say, "Prove me wrong."
