There is no logic here. That's my point. Nobody is going to take people's guns.

We have laws and restrictions because we are in the middle of a pandemic. Just like what happened in 1918. As much as people want things to be normal right now, and I am one of those people, things are not normal. It's not a political thing. It's a virus thing. Covid isn't political and doesn't see red or blue. It sees hosts in which it can continue to spread as long as nothing is done to mitigate that spread. We can rail, shake our fists at the sky, at each other, whatever. It's going to do what it does until we as a country do what we can to stop it or at least slow it down. Wear a mask. Socially distance. Avoid crowds.

So your argument (if it could be called one) is that because of Covid, we have new rules, laws and restrictions in contradiction to the rules, laws and restrictions that were put in place to prevent the ones we currently have.
Covid is a mental illness

Default second amendment

2008 - Supreme Court (Heller Case) - the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep a gun for self defense.

They don't need to. They just make them illegal to use or the use is too dangerous if it involves serious penalty. So, people will just hide them at home and they can't use them for hunting or shooting. This does nothing for crime. Does this need spelled out again? 94 taught us it did nothing. Criminals don't obey laws. You don't care because:

A. You are afraid of them
B. You don't own one
C. Hate the second

One of the reasons the 2nd Amendment even exists is to protect the citizens from government over-reach, and this it what Numbnuts Biden and the left will attempt to do.

Biden's proposals aren't something he can do with the scribble of his pen on an Executive Order, and any of his lame-brained attempts will get smacked down by the Supreme Court.

Gun sales soared during Obama's terms, and will soar during Biden's term, no doubt.

Plus OP, Biden was put in charge of the WH Sandy Hook Commission regarding gun access. In the next sentence, I will list its accomplishments.

Actually no. That's a myth.

The Second Amendment is a State's Right, and it actually IS to protect the individual state from the power of the Federal government.

Federalist paper #29
