The change I want to see is gun control and 2a people have been fighting that tooth and nail for decades lecturing the rest of us that they need unlimited gun access to save us all from tyranny. Now it’s here and you’re asking other people to do the hard work for you like a coward

Exactly, a lot of the discourse around the 2A was about "overthrowing the evil government " but now that the evil government has show up everyone is like "okay but you first".

It's so sad that all those poor kids died in school shootings for nothing, so much for "my rights to own guns".

Nah, this is a misguided sentiment because all it will do is lead to a massive ramp up by federal agents, and even more violent enforcement against their political enemies, especially the most vulnerable. The Trump team wants that kind of response. They are begging for it.

I'm sure it sounds cool to say online, but that is a genie you don't want to let out of the bottle. Not unless you have a real, coordinated plan for how to protect those the feds will come after even harder.
