That’s a very modern interpretation of the second amendment popularized by conservatives. What it means ‘literally’ is hotly debated but only relatively recently did conservative pundents push this definition away from the arguably more ‘literal’ concept of organized state militias.
If you think an arms race between liberal activists and right wing racist hillbillies (ie. Most of America) is going to end with the armed liberals winning, you need to check out the gun cabinets and gun sheds of the conservative homes in my town.
Every time I see a ridiculous call to arms post like this on Lemmy I put some money aside to donate to one of my favorite gun control charities.
Just because people don’t put them in a literal showcase and make it their entire personality doesn’t mean they don’t own as many they just don’t want to get robbed as badly.
