“We can prevent gun violence while also supporting the Second Amendment,” a Giffords-sponsored “sportsmen’s” effort lies. “Gun Owners for Safety unites hunters, sport shooters, and collectors who want commonsense gun laws.”
Giffords, of course, along with all the other major gun prohibitionist groups, has endorsed Kamala Harris, who will sign whatever anti-gun legislation the Democrats succeed in passing and go for what they can’t through executive action. And then she’ll reshape the Supreme Court. That’s some “commonsense support.”
It’s never hard to find “Fudds” who are enthusiastic about voting for citizen disarmament-pushing politicians and throwing fellow gun owners under the bus. A prime example is Harris’ Vice President pick, Tim Walz, once “A”-rated and endorsed by NRA. But while low information voters are being gaslit into thinking the Second Amendment can be “respected” while it’s being eviscerated, a striking inequity is being revealed:
There is no parallel “pro-Second Amendment Democrat” movement happening. That’s because there’s no such thing as one.
Sure, there are superficially “pro-gun Democrats” who act like the Second Amendment is about duck hunting, but at the end of the day they’ll support Party gun-grabbers and a president determined to reshape the Supreme Court until Bruen becomes a forgotten speed bump.
Where are Second Amendment Democrats for Trump?
Experience shows they prioritize other issues above the right to keep and bear arms, meaning they really don’t understand it to be a right at all. This was unequivocally proven years ago, when I conversed with the head of the Second Amendment Democrats.
After all kinds of weasel-wording and Molon Labe-ing, he finally could not deny the one truth that ultimately defines them:
Under no circumstances will Amendment II Democrats support Republican candidates who run against anti-RKBA Democrats. We are, after all, Democrats.
That’s all I needed to know. They support citizen disarmament. After it’s all said and done, they support taking your guns, which has always been the end goal.
I don’t know (or care) whatever happened to them, but do note there is a Facebook group that goes by that name, a group you can join with all of 19 members that doesn’t look like it’s been active for years. They offer further confirmation that there’s no such thing as what they claim to be:
Hello everyone. Who do we all think will be best on the 2nd Amendment of the current field? My guess is Bernie Sanders, though I suppose Amy Klobuchar has represented the most constituents with guns.
I agree that Bernie is the best bet. Not sure if Buttegeig would prioritize gun control like Booker or Warren.
Personally I feel like Buttigieg is the best candidate for president and to run against Trump, but not sure how I feel about any of their stances on gun control. There are so many issues.
It’s not my top priority either…
Obviously.
It’s not for the Giffords Fudds, either:

This may be the final nail in the coffin for gun rights. Gun Owners who think the 2nd Amendment could never be abolished are living in a fool’s paradise. It will be gun owners to blame for the banning of firearms and packing the SCOTUS so the Constitution will finally be just another piece of paper. We were warned.
Second Amendment Democrats for Democrats is like Gays and Transes for Palestinian Muslims.
And yet both exist.
There are all types of humans, some with levels of stupid that just cannot be fixed.
Giffords… the devil didn’t die that day at the grocery store… that is too bad.. Our founding fathers lament that as well.
As a reformed Californian and as an independent who hadn’t voted for a republican before Mr O’Rourke clarified demo position on gun rights – do I count as a “pro-gun democrat?” Haven’t voted for any demo candidates since seeing the light. 2A is my primary consideration with hard stop on any who wish to infringe. Everything else is just fluff – useful for candidates who tie on 2A. Not willing to surrender terminology – I strongly support common sense gun law reform. Top of common-sense reform list is rescinding NFA and ’68 GCA. Strongly oppose common-nonsense such as what democrats… Read more »
Do these Second Amendment lip service types support legislation (at state levels) that severely incarcerate perps who commit crime with guns? If so, I’ve never heard about them endorsing such. Instead, it’s always about restricting gun rights for the population who are guiltless.
that these “people” continue to think this way even after recent scotus decisions is beyond ludicrous, it is borderline pathologic. if they do not think that after coming for semi-auto rifles and handguns they will come for their shotguns just look at england where they did just this and not are even banning pointy kitchen knives because of the stabbings by non-citizen immigrants.
and i hope they don’t think that they will be able to keep their shotguns because they voted for the gun grabbers, that won’t happen. but then…
