I'm not sure if you're familiar with US politics, but the Venn diagram intersection of people who have advocated for civilian firearm ownership AND resisting stricter immigration laws is vanishingly small.

Mostly Democrats are upset about the current ICE push, but they also spent the last several generations trying to eradicate civilian firearm ownership, particularly in California.

I'm on the side of of both more guns AND due process, but it wasn't until recently that I've noticed traditional lefties waking up to why the second amendment is important.

My hope is that the left remembers this feeling the next time they're in power.
