Bigotry is Bigotry and all Bigotry Needs to Be Confronted

24. Some do.

"As for 2nd amendment supporters, there are many interpretations of that amendment. I support the 2nd amendment, as written."

There is only one interpretation which is historically accurate. It happens to be the binding law of the land. But I'm not here to discuss that.

"We need official, organized, government-controlled militias, and bearing arms is part of that."

That's your opinion, though I'm not here to discuss that.

"So where do I fit in your characterization?"

My characterization of what? "Second amendment supporters"? When I use that term, I mean people who accept that the amendment was written as a restriction on governmental power as the preamble to the bill of rights confirms, and forbids infringement on the individual level as well as the collective level. In short, individual rights supporters. People who are "pro-gun". More specifically, those here on DU, myself included, who face anti-gun bigotry quite regularly.

What difference does it make though?

You said "Wherever it occurs and in any form, bigotry should be called out and condemned. It doesn't matter what the bigotry targets or how large or small the group being attacked may be. Bigotry is simply wrong and needs to be confronted and rejected."

That's pretty cut and dried.
