We’re moving into that awkward stage where the anti-2A forces* have decided to up the provocation and hope we respond in a way that allows them to tighten the wrench even further. And we’re in that place where responding that way would be morally justified decades ago; but wasn’t a smart way to achieve policy then and isn’t now.
Sadly, we are reaching that stage the original Virginians had to face - protesting injustice without triggering more of it backed by popular support.
*I’d started to say “the left” but even AntiFa and the other hard-line commies are protesting against this because they oppose the level of state control behind this, albeit for different reasons.
