MAGA often sounds like a Second Amendment absolutist group; after all, Charlie Kirk said quite clearly that dead school children were acceptable collateral damage. But is that an accurate view of MAGA’s position?
No. MAGA believes in rights for me, but not for thee. The Second Amendment is no different in that respect than the First. Trump is already thinking about depriving trans people of the right to bear arms and is boasting about illegal gun seizures in D.C. Expect more such efforts to control gun ownership in the future, particularly in cities in blue states.
And when it happens, the NRA may suffer some heartburn, but you can bet Clarence Thomas will say it’s OK.
