The Grim Truth: The War on Guns Is Lost

The author of this New Republic piece seems close to tears that:

• Millions of Americans are exercising their basic rights
• The Supreme Court recognizes their basic rights
• Americans keep voting for enough politicians who understand the Constitution to keep the tyrants somewhat at bay.

This is one of those cases where reference to “liberal tears” is wholly legitimate. The author sees the idea of Americans being allowed to own standard firearms as a horrible tragedy, a failure of the police state she would prefer we lived in. The only hope she seems to have is in a “National Divorce.”

However, chances are quite good that the despair is performative. Take a look at the listing of the other New Republic pieces written by this author; they are all leftist black pills. Republicans either live rent free in her head, or she’s paying the rent by ginning up fear of Republicans.

Shrug.
