The thing about the NRA and especially of GOA is that both seem to have it backwards. The elevation of a weapon of war comes before the 2nd Amendment, rather than the 2nd Amendment determining the role guns should play in society. Scalia’s unprecedented interpretation of the 2nd Amendment in D.C. v. Heller was itself nonsense, to be clear, but it still implied some limits on guns. That is not the case for the NRA or GOA.
The Onion satirizes repeated tragedies at different scales because these people literally worship the gun as a gun. From my perspective, the 2nd Amendment citations are empty expressions to constitutionality and tropes of death.
But I know that most Americans favor more gun control. So, obviously, I’m only talking about the members of GOA and the more hardline members of NRA.

How so is it backwards for them to advocate for our rights?
Because regardless of the copious innocent deaths and superfluous destruction the object of their advocacy wreaks, they still lift up that right in every circumstance. Their principled stand for gun ownership is completely removed from reality. Neither the NRA nor the GOA are pragmatic, which would mean traingulating between the injurious realities of firearm ownership and the limits Scalia has referenced. Instead, it’s guns, everywhere, all the time.
Rights are only useful if they can be exercised. Between mass shootings, an epidemic of domestic violence, and just casual violence over football games and road rage incidencts, I’m hardpressed to see how they’re firearm advocacy as “protective” of anything. Dead people have no need of rights because they can’t use them.
Yeah, I guess it checks out that you think it’s weird for people to have principles, since the concept is entirely foreign to you
What do you know of my principles or lack thereof?
The fact that you’re literally sitting here calling it “backwards” to act in accordance with principles. Having a hard time keeping up with the bullshit you peddle?

I am not sure I understand your statement. The 2nd amendment is all about weapons of war. The purpose of the 2nd is to ensure the citizens have access to weapons of war to form militias.
I didnt realize just how little gun stuff I was posting until now. Time to correct that. Its not all immigration, jan6, and Hamas. Theres other stuff too, and variety is the spice of life.
Gotta remind people that unrestricted gun access is more important than the lives of children. Who could forget?

Unfortunately it’s not simply a personal choice.

Don’t you support Hamas? Oh no wait, you just support the guys who support Hamas.
Neither of those things are true, but good attempt. Also glad to see we are able to get our whataboutism in for the day.
You support Gaza, do you not? Gaza supports Hamas. You know what? Fuck it, when I get a moment, Im going to go find that poll that says Gaza supports Hamas.
Unless you no longer support Gaza.
You support Gaza, do you not?
Define “support”.
You support them in arguments
If you can’t even tell me what your question means then how am I supposed to answer it?
