(33,467 posts)They never want to protect the full 2nd Amendment:
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Instead, the Right-Wing Nut Job judges installed by the RWNJs have created an abbreviated 2nd Amendment that they can worship:
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
As to Abbott and his ilk ...

I've been here at DU for 18 years, and I challenge you to find anybody with a more pro-gun control record.
And if the continued victories of the Other Side drive me into a black humor once in a while, I suggest you fucking deal with it.
