17. But for many NRA members, this is a real conundrum.

2A is their baby. They brought weapons to January 6th. They have concealed carry permits. They’re armed when they just step out for milk and toilet paper. So for their hero and his regime to suddenly start ranting about not bringing a gun to a protest… I mean, it’s the most explicit fear they have, the government taking their guns and executing them for exercising their 2A rights. They’re armed when NRA is CYAing, but it’s also possible that some in the org are actually paying attention, finally.
