We don't really need it. We all thank you for thinking of us, but enshrining firearms so broadly into our Constitution would lead to a lot of unnecessary fights and safety concerns. IMO.

We just need our Government to be willing to learn more about guns so that when they make the laws, they don't mess up. We don't need a law that ages poorly to muddy the waters. Most laws, like the 2A, age poorly and lack context once they get into the future.

Clearly our approach isn’t working though. Anytime our politicians on the left need a cheap political tool, they just add more random guns to the ban list to distract voters. Numbers or logic don’t matter to them so learning about firearms won’t make a difference because it’s not about firearms, it’s about culture war politics.

They know about guns, they don't care. Trudeau has a PAL, he knows about guns. The adage "Don't attribute to malice what can be equally explained by stupidity," doesn't apply to the gun bans because they know how guns work. They are doing it maliciously, and without some kind of protection that is untouchable by the government, like a right, then we will always be under attack from the Liberals.

That’s a deluded liberalized fantasy.

Either firearm ownership has serious legal protection, or it exists only for as long as the government feels like allowing it.
“We just need the government to learn more about guns” is not a solution. It’s wishful thinking. Governments do not need to understand guns to ban them. They only need the legal power to do it, and right now they have it.

So pick one.

Either you support 2A-style protections, or you accept that firearms can be slowly banned out of existence. But don’t pretend there’s some magical third option where gun ownership stays secure because politicians suddenly become informed and reasonable.

If you’d rather have no guns than constitutional protection for them, then say that with your full chest. It's unironically a more respectable take.
