On the other hand does this make 2a more palatable for the left?
Discussion
I hope so
I live in a very far left bubble of a city so maybe i can offer some anecdotal perspective. Moved here from a much more right leaning area where i grew up so ive seen a lot of the spectrum.
The left is generally more accepting of 2a IRL than the media would lead you to believe. That said, I have noticed a recent increase in leftists flexing their hardware more publicly
To clarify, j have heard these leftist argue in favor of the government services buffet, pretty relentlessly, but never once have i heard one publicly advocate for repealing 2a . The closest I have ever heard was the "common sense gun laws" take, in favor of restricting certain types of weapons.
But was the restrictions ridiculous like no "assault rifles" or no magazines over 6 bullets?
I've definitely had both stated to me
Yeah where i live is a far smaller and more rural area than NYC. I have a theory that these opinions increase with population density, and the population density is nowhere near as high where I am.
Im not gonna lie, I kinda tune out when I start to hear those arguments, common sense is an insanely arbitrary term, and i dont usually ask people to elaborate at that point.
