    I don’t get the take here.

    Is this bad because…they had a gun?

    Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?

    Aren’t they all for gun rights?

      They’re for gun rights within the scope of their interpretation of the constitution. It’s starts out “We the people” and when you don’t consider someone a person, you don’t consider them to have those same rights.

      You make the fatal flaw of thinking there’s reasoning behind their beliefs. They make up reasons to justify their beliefs. These reasons are always narrow-in-scope and context-dependant, but are often presented as generalized statements. They will change their argument to suit their aims.

      Before I noticed the source, I just thought, “Badass!” Then I had the same question as you.
