Within the context of the quote, he was referring to arms dealers selling guns to both sides in times of war. But I agree that there are a lot of anti 2a things that this pope has said, like when he said we should abolish all guns.
Here is the full quote:
It makes me think one thing: people, leaders, entrepreneurs who call themselves Christians, and manufacture arms! This gives rise to some mistrust: they call themselves Christians! “No, no, Father, I don’t manufacture them, no, no…. I only have my savings, my investments in arms factories”. Ah! And why? “Because the interest is somewhat higher…”. And being two-faced is common currency today: saying something and doing another. Hypocrisy….
…There is that hypocrisy of speaking of peace and producing arms, and even selling arms to this one who is at war with that one, and to that one who is at war with this one! -Pope Francis

I hear your point, but I believe it is a misrepresentation. Catholic teaching (to my knowledge) does not proclaim that everything that every pope says is the word of God. 'Papal infallibility' -> ex cathedra "speaking from the chair" is the only time that the word of the pope is infallible. It has happened only once since 1870.

Let me translate this, "Biden isn't traveling tomorrow. Instead, he'll be focused on the new Hunter Biden leaks, getting briefed by his team on how much exposure he currently has, and how close is he to an FBI investigation." his campaign says.
nice.
