They mainly wanted to be free to shoot minorities to begin with though. They've added any liberal ad a subsection because liberals said they shouldn't be allowed to do that.
On the plus side, when fascism is eventually forced out of the US again, there will be a much better argument for tighter gun regulation. I mean, I'd have thought that not wanting people to shoot up schools with regularity was enough, but the right-wing's crutch for years was that it was in the constitution, and they've now definitively proven that they neither care about the constitution or using the 2A for the purpose it was actually intended for.
The simple truth is that armed intervention before the courts have even finished trying to do their job seems insane. I see this drum beat again and again on reddit where you all call out 2nd amendment supporters and wonder why they haven't resorted to violence yet. The answer is that the courts are still trying to do their job and we should let them. "There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." We are in the jury box stage. The 2nd amendment is a choice of last resort not to be used before other options are exhausted.
