It was always a lie. Just like how they would claim they would defend free speech. They don't give a flying fuck about America, the Constitution, Jesus, freedom, or anything else. They would gleefully have been Nazi's in another time or Inquisitors in a preindustrial role. They are the same that would claim the old lady that cured their kid is a witch and gleefully watch as she is tortured. Then accuse your daughter if you tried to beat them to the land grab. They may accidentally do something good by circumstance, and then spend the rest of their lives being a pos like the bin laden killer also posting about his desire to fuck and enslave young men. They want guns because they want to play with them or threaten you with them. That is it. The biggest gun owners in my family do not hunt and have never hunted. But they plan on it. Right after they get their ranch style home, forge, and an army of young men to boss around. And a lottery winning cause they ain't ever bothered working for that shit. But it looked cool on TV.
