They do not understand they are literally trying to give rights to an object, although they would claim they are not doing that. You can't point out to them our western pluralistic, and free allies don't have a 2nd amendment, still allow for firearm ownership, but don't hand them out blindly and sit on "no record".
This is an area where I think that conservatives are, once again, contradicting themselves. The Founding Fathers of the United States, in my opinion, wanted the 2nd Ammendment to apply only in the realm of a citizen soldier.
Again - your opinion is minority.
The SCOTUS ruled in 2008 (Heller) that the right is an INDIVIDUAL right - not as the anti- gun people claim - a "collective right" ( something they had to invent).
With the present makeup of the court that would only change if half of the court retired or died before the end of the Biden administration.
