I think it’s important we rephrase the argument. The government can’t violate the 2nd amendment without violating the entire constitution, including the bill of rights. If you support “gun control” or “gun safety “, then it’s easy to say:

• we should tax free speech, public assembly, religious attendance, petitions against government
• right to privacy and rights against government seizures requires a background check
• trial by jury is only meant for military and law enforcement

I support 2A, but to me it’s more important to support the entire constitution. If we erode one part of it, we erode our faith in government. I love our rights and I want to see them all protected.
