If you genuinely and unironically thought bump stocks and pistol-ARs weren’t going to have a reckoning, you are the perfect example of why we need to start taking guns away from conservatives.

Every good old boy knows a fascist making ghost guns in their garage.

Quit your fucking pathetic 2A pearl clutching and just admit it’s about the killing fetish already.

I'll bet that if someone called you a pearl-clutching 1A fetishist that just wanted to groom children, you would--rightly--argue that no, civil rights like the ability to read books about gender identity and sexuality are protected civil rights that the gov't shouldn't touch.

Or if someone said that if you have nothing to hide, then you should care if the gov't spies on you, you would tell them to fuck off and come back with a warrant.

...But as soon as it's a civil right you don't personally like, well, then it's ammosexuals and murder fetishes.

The right is already trying to take your 1A rights in regards to press and religion--and largely succeeding!--but by golly!, you're gonna just hand them your 2A rights so that when they finish taking your 1A and 5A rights you won't be able to do dick except say mean things in public that will get you arrested on domestic terrorism charges (see also: cop city protests in Atlanta).

Cool, nice chat.
