    | Gun rights activists for years have fought for the free proliferation of firearms throughout the U.S., perhaps subconsciously imagining they were only arming themselves. But a shooting incident in Virginia on Wednesday, in which a 66-year-old white man named James T. Hodgkinson fired a rifle multiple times on a baseball field and seriously injured House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and others, illustrated this point: Liberals, who traditionally support gun control, also may use gun violence when they feel helpless.

    | More garbage about the  2A being only there to protect a Militia or some imagined "collective right." I'm a bit tired of this idiot leftward twaddle.    Does "the right OF THE PEOPLE"  mean anything to these nuts?

    | MarkHamTownsend, the reason they insist that the 2A enumerates a "collective" right is because they are... 
 ...wait for it...
 
 COLLECTIVISTS.
 
 CommonDreams is a communist website, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it spouts this pap.
