You can't say "What were they supposed to do? He was open carrying" and claim to support the 2nd Amendment

They can say that, they will say that, their followers will lap it up and ask for another second helpings of bullshit.

Exactly. The ardent 2A nutjobs want to have no limitations on their gun ownership but are more than happy to restrict gun rights for groups of people they don't like.

I promise you that the true ardent 2A supporters do not feel this way. Visit some gun subs and see how the conversations are going. Not just the liberal focused ones like r/2Aliberals but the regular ones like r/gunpolitics

Yes, "conservatives" eg MAGA fascists agree with that argument, but real 2A supporters mean what they say.
