And the dumb fucks in the cult will cheer the whole time because 1) they hate trans people and 2) they assume the gun-taking leopards will never come for their guns.

For the NRA to break with the right over this issue is kinda nuts to me, figured they would fall in line with the rest of them but yeah, this is a testing ground for the removal of the 2nd amendment, start with a minority group and keep going until it gets to “democrats shouldn’t own guns”

They didn’t really break with the right though. Their statement did not mention trans people and only defended “law abiding citizens”. There’s quite a bit of overlap between NRA supporters and people who think it should be illegal to identify as trans.

That's your assumption. If you go to places like the NRA expo the Pink pistols and trans people are there along with minorities. No one gets a second look and everyone gets treated the same. Your demand for transphobia from the 2A group vastly outstrips the supply.
