The group who are loud about liking the 2nd amendment are too politically ignorant to know trump is exactly why it was created. The group who are quiet about liking it are too small, and have too much to lose to do anything.

One black guy does what's right in the grand scheme of things, and the negativity they spin from it is our image for years to come. Same with latinos and queer people, and you get the gist.

You think so many people would like Mario's taller yet younger sibling if he was any of those things? Maybe, but he'd also probably have been put to death by now.

The second amendment was created because in the post-revolution era, people thought the federal government should only have the power to raise armies when facing a foreign adversary. Then, after the Constitutional Convention gave the federal government the power to have a standing peacetime army of full-time paid soldiers, the anti-federalist concern was that the national army could not mobilize fast enough to secure every part of the nation, so the right of states to defend themselves by organizing and arming a militia was added via the second amendment.
