    Liberals, and I count myself as one, always bring this “need” argument. Meanwhile, there is no other right where they would question need.

    I have shitloads of guns I don’t “need”. The vast majority are for fun. Even the more practical guns are mostly for fun.

    Know why? Because I can do that if I want to. The 2A exists and the courts have historically upheld it. That’s one sentence, two facts.

    While we’re at it, let’s question why the largest gun purchasing demographic “needs” guns. Ya know, women, minorities and LGBT folks. Go ask them.

    Also, “The fascists are coming! Disarm yourselves! And if it’s not too much trouble, we’d like the government to know exactly who owns what.” (In case Trump wins again!?)
