The problem is gun advocacy, like many other issues in US politics, have been bundled into bipartisanism, and are now loaded, complex issues.

Most people around me who are pro-2A are staunchly pro-police, staunchly against movements like BLM, for authoritarian type figures, etc. Police are often very pro 2A.

I'm generally pro 2nd amendment. But I am strongly for police reform. Despite being a right, the 2nd amendment should never be a necessity. If it is, we've failed as a nation.

> The Constitution does _protect_ and specifically enumerate some inherent human rights.

This is a religious belief - that rights are inherent to human beings. It's debatable whether gun ownership is an inherent human right beyond how we define them.

Terrible things don't just "happen." They have cause and effect - and people will want to change that cause and effect. That is one of the major talking points for 2A rights - that bad things can happen, so buy a gun to protect yourself (stop one of the causes, of a negative effect.)
