I do target shooting as a hobby but I'm genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it's culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

It's funny that the people that spent the past few decades screaming that the 2A is meant to protect from a corrupt government aren't picking up their guns but cheering and voting for the corruption instead...

You can't expect political opponents to do the hard work for you, whether it's protesting, press, or 2A stuff

All citizens have access to the same things. Someone might live in a state with restrictions, but that can be seen as a case of "you get what you vote for" too
