No, if I were anti-2A, I’d take away guns specifically to ensure they are defenseless.

And yes, I know they can’t actually silence gunfire so much as make it less audible. Heck, when playing Metal Gear Solid games, I tend to use suppressors and hear a slight “pft” sound.

And I do believe in the 2A, actually. I wouldn’t even be advocating for it for the purpose of self-defense if I weren’t. That doesn’t mean I am for limitless restrictions. Even George Washington put down the Whiskey Rebellion, which DID deal with weapons. Are you going to call him anti-2A there as well? Because by your logic, Washington himself violated the 2A.

Besides, I’m pretty sure you’d agree that what France did with its guns during its French Revolution is NOT good, period. They had guns, thus technically were 2A, yet they used them just to get off on killing people, not to defend against tyrants or self-defense or anything like that, as this article made clear: http://www.culturewars.com/CultureWars/Archives/Fidelity_archives/parricide.html

That comment explains a lot - and not favorably. You're basing your opinion on this serious topic with your vast experience in using suppressors in a video game.
