It's fairly straightforward: they don't want restrictions placed on their rights to own and carry a gun, but they absolutely want restrictions placed on the rights of their political enemies.

And people of color. Or rather, especially for people of colot
for my entirely too long life, Rs have been "States rights", one of the few issues where I agree with them.
2025, and here we are. Rs are pro-Russia, against States rights, and now this? Reagan will climb out the dirt and go on a rampage like a kaiju
I must have missed the news. What is Trump doing now regarding the 2nd amendment?
Last I heard it was after the Alex Pretti killing. He was beaten without ever drawing his legally obtained firearm he had in the small of his back. During the beating, ICE found the firearm, disarmed him, and then proceeded to execute him in the street. After the killing, a bunch of room temperature IQ Republicans said he shouldn't have brought his legally obtained (gonna keep stressing that) firearm to a "peaceful protest."
If there's anything else along to their apparent effort of pulling back on the 2nd Amendment, well, I haven't been informed.
Let's not forget that he's the only president to ever float the idea of a gun ban, and that was in his first term. Take the guns and figure out due process later.
It was negligent of Harris not to bring that up every chance she got.
not to bring that up

She was trying to get Republicans to switch their vote, so it would have been way more effective on them than those other things.
Well if he's in I'm in.
You should cross post this to a political meme sub.
Done!
Looking at what gets posted here, they did.
Context? (Apart from throwing Alex Pretti under the bus)
