You mean like when California enacted stricter gun laws to stop the black Panthers from carrying?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, exactly. If it didn't work they wouldn't have tried to stop it.

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.
