Who's passing all of these bills to gut voting rights and pretty much every other civil right? Republicans. The vast numbers of Repub gun lovers are doing NOTHING to stop this Constitutional assault simply because they are not going after their guns - which is the only tyranny they give a damn about.

Apart from a love of guns and a persecution complex, left wing gun lovers have almost nothing in common with right wing gun lovers. Left wing gun lovers are impotent when it comes to stopping the Repub assault on rights and liberties. Right wing gun lovers - the vast majority of gun lovers - couldn't care less about those issues.
