Why do you care about the RKBA?

37. Actually, my activism has come lately as well, thanks to people like msongs...

who seem to be all-in to fighting a destructive (to progressive causes) culture war-by-proxy.

This I believe is self-evident: The powerful, deep and widespread pro-2A activism WOULD NOT EXIST without this harsh, mean-spirited culture war effected by well-placed elites and the MSM.

I support the Second in an active way in the same manner I support the other BOR rights: when threatened. But with the other rights my activism was time-to-time; ordnances against peaceable assembly, restrictions on the right to choose, free speech restrictions, etc. With the Second, on the other hand, the threat is specific and constant; as if Infringement was now merely a policy concern, and an individual right has somehow become a kind of dead letter, or a "communal right" where such does not exist anywhere else in Constitutional theory.

I see the attacks on the Second as a bitter holdover from the days of very necessary and effective EXPANSION of civil rights for minorities, women, LGBTQ community, and now immigrants. It seems a small, well-placed elite has tried to hijack a genuine movement by grafting onto stereotypes of Americans the "gun issue" and thinking it can pull off some quick-change social reform. But it ain't that way. It's the same old orthodox prohibition whereby (this time) liberals become oddly ill-liberal, and think no one else will notice.

But there are millions of American who have noticed. And they are willing to grind out a scorched earth campaign. By any means necessary.
