MY point is stop saying we have liberty because people can have guns.
As I've demonstrated repeatedly, that's certainly not true.
As far as "the left" having "completely abandoned" the Second Amendment, that's hyperbole. The definition of "Second Amendment" and what allegedly violates it has become so extreme in the past two decades that "abandoned" can mean even the most benign suggestion about sensible gun controls at this point.
Anything except the exact status quo right now is interpreted as an "attack" on the Second Amendment. You know this. And it wasn't always this way. Thank the new leadership of the NRA for that--with Wayne sort of being the David Miscavige of the NRA, giving it a new mission. As an arms manufacturing marketing lobby--posing of course as a Second Amendment protection group. Patriotism, y'all!
