    This is going to result in either the left arming themselves in a way that will give them political power comparable to the right.

    Or the courts will set a legal precedent for gun control regulations.

    While I’m disgusted by the fact that it’s a targeted act of persecution, this could be the Trump DOJ setting up a long-term win for the left.

        IDK, I consider myself pretty far left, and generally pro 2A, but I’d be OK with some gun control. I feel like you can grasp the political value of firearms, and also not want a paranoid schizophrenic with a history of violence to have unfettered access to firearms.

        I think as a society we can walk and chew gum, and I don’t think that makes me Hillary Clinton.
