The purpose of the Constitution is as a constraint on governmental power - the 2nd amendment being the constraint of last resort.

Why is that difficult for people to understand?

They (Meaning the Left) don’t want to.

Why is that difficult for people to understand?

I know these people because I've had to deal with them many times over the years.

3 years ago while walking through my neighborhood, I had a liberal call the police on me because I was carrying a Jo staff. (3ft staff). It works great against dogs. 3 cop cars showed up. Long story...cop ended up chewing his butt good for wasting their time. It's not illegal to open carry a piece of wood.

It's fear. They live in fear. Everything is emotional with them. Fear is a strong emotion. Even me carrying a simple straight piece of oak, makes them wet their pants.

There are two types gun grabbers. First is the hypocritical short sighted idiot like Bill Maher. He's a committed gun owner. He has admitted to owning several guns for personal protection. But also wants a gun registry, etc. He doesn't get that it's dangerous to know where the guns are it's also dangerous to be able to see where guns aren't. Let's just show everyone where the defenseless homes are located. These idiots also think that big government is their friend.

Second, is the bed wetter. They live in fear of everyone else. I know people like this. They are afraid to confront neighbors for what ever reason because of what they imagine this neighbor might do. It's the same principle.

They also imagine that guns give you power over them and makes them feel helpless. So, they are willing to give up the rights that they will never exercise anyway to not feel that helplessness.

Anyways... that's my take on it.
