10. It's hard to tell how many would be affected by voter suppression

but that is one estimate. Second, the chance of millions having all of their guns taken away is extremely remote and not really the goal, while millions having their voting rights taken away is in progress and the only goal of republicans. If you showed republicans another way to stop a handful of illegals from voting, they would be against it because their goal is to stop people from voting.

No one is trying to stop people from having guns. When you show the NRA another way to stop crazies or gun runners or smugglers from getting guns, they are against it because the goal is no restrictions on guns at all, never, ever. Let the crazies have all the guns they want cuz Rambo will take care of him.

When stated the way you stated the argument, yes, they are both wrong. However, "getting rid of the second amendment" is not the argument ANYONE is making. It's false equivelant.
