That does go both ways, though. 

Taking a stance that the Second is absolute in allowing all guns all the time, saying the issue is just a lack of God in schools (or violence in music), citing Chicago, which is high on gun restrictions and gun murders... even though it's around 10th in gun related homicides per capita (below red state wonders like New Orleans, STL and Atlanta), and around the same number in firearm related injuries (again behind a list of loose gun law cities and states). Even the traditional interpretation of the Second (it's there so people can overthrow the government if necessary) is outdated. 

I'm pro-guns, and anti most restrictions. But both sides need to dial back on the memes, as it's preventing a real discussion on how to deal with it.
