Careless deference to the 2nd amendment (more generally, deference to "the constitution") is among the reddest flags you can throw.

Not really deference. Just a cold analysis of the state of things.

You can't just say "the 2nd amendment" and assume we all mean the same thing. Radical misinterpretation is way too common for that.

That's a good question, and an illustrative one. It means what supports my argument, considering I have only invoked the amendment by name rather than by any specific consequence or ruling. I hope this helps to illustrate the sham of simply calling out "the constitution" or "the 2nd amendment" as a reason.
