How to radicalize a population 101.

Well the world is waiting for the condemnation and outpouring of support from all those rabid free speech and "over my dead body" 2nd amendment right wingers to step forward...

Curiously quiet now? So it's only an amendment that you want to protect your team and that's when it matters? Ahh, then you don't support the constitution nor this country.

They're not quiet, they're the ones that joined ICE

This is what all the armchair Europeans don't get. The 2A right wingers are 100% defending their nation. It just happens to be the Aryan Nation not the USA.

Oh, we've always been able to see that, thanks.

Confederate States of America also.

Doesn't help that the ones against ice have been wasting too much time pretending we can or should get rid of guns instead of getting them and now we see how that plays out. Might be time for the Dems to abandon that part of their platform, maybe even make their own gun rights org since they won't support the SRA.

Again, people outside the USA having no understanding of those INSIDE the USA. Those people who shouted civil war, 2nd Amendment, against tyranny, this is THEIR tyranny. This is what THEY want. So they're not saying anything because they're getting what they want. Just there's a lot of liberals coming to light realizing "I should probably be armed" after being anti-gun for so long.

Yup, that is the goal. To pick a fight.
