        I think passing that law just proved that 2A never had any power. And rubbed it in the Panthers’ faces at the same time.

          I mean, rights in general only matter if enough fight for them. We’re seeing this right now with the Fifth and First Amendments; none of this is unique to the Second.

            Exactly. But all the 2A morons claim it protects the other rights, when it hasn’t. At least not sustainably.
