It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.
Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

Don't worry. The pseudo-left will never support the Second Amendment except for the national guard (army of the bourgeoisie) interpretation. The army of the proletariat interpretation runs counter to their class interests.
Revolutionary leftists support the idea of an army of the proletariat (without which the socialist era is unachievable), but I admit it's questionable whether that really was the intention of the Second Amendment. Right-wing mytho-macho bullshit would seem to indicate they support the army of the proletariat interpretation, which can involve the individual right to bear arms, but their inaction in the face of
FEMAICE concentration camps indicates that what right-wing fans of guns (and much effort in MSM/hollyweird/propaganda establishment has been expended to paint gun ownership as something only right-wingers do) really see themselves as is the reserve army of the bourgeoisie.Sometimes the reserve army of the bourgeoisie has differences with the bourgeois political establishment ("muh secession"), but ultimately they protect capitalist forms of property.
