FWIW, I know bunches of Democrats who are staunch 2A supporters, and even more independents who are.
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.
I am not a Democrat.
...as for how 2A Democrats and independents support 2A...neither you, nor I get to decide what they are doing is wrong if it doesn't align with what we are doing and/or believe.
No one is just one thing, and almost nothing is binary, despite attempts by politicians, media and others to describe it thus.
Well, that is a wonderfully progressive/liberal thing to say. "Everything is just points on a spectrum" "Speak your truth" "Break the binary" But actually, there is a lot of binary out there, and it all breaks down into right or wrong. Despite attempts by intellectuals and their weak-minded followers who want to see this country turned upside down.
And, we do get to decide what's wrong, it's called results. Take for example, the senator your pro-gun democrat buddies sent to Washington, Tammy Baldwin. Do you know what her voting record on the Second Amendment is? I'll give you a hint, it's not good, at all. If your idea of defending the Second Amendment is sending a gun hating Senator to Washington, you're wrong, it's really just that simple.
But you still haven't answered my question. How do you staunchly defend the Second Amendment when you send staunchly anti-gun congressmen and Senators to Washington? How do you see it as a win, when the people you elect are actively trying to legislate the Second Amendment out of existence? I'm trying to understand this, explain it, if you will.
