Misunderstanding the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment included therein

Ha ha ha ha!
I remember some years ago, two people in my family were having a heated political discussion. After several rounds, the fiscal conservative was making some headway, and the die-hard progressives yielded that he was making valid points. Immediately after that, for reasons I still don’t understand, the conservative used a racial slur for Palestinians, and lost all ground he had gained about fiscal responsibility. Apparently they were somehow related, in his mind, and the progressive family members were able to equate fiscal conservatism with racism.

Point taken. When we’re talking about 2A, we need to focus on the issue. Obviously there are political considerations, as there are with any issue, but the moment we introduce political parties or religion or anything else, people will go into defense mode and they won’t hear a thing we’re saying about the right to keep and bear arms.
