It's funny though, that isn't the equation. Murdering cops based on a belief is wrong. This only hinders those of us who legally own a firearm. You will not hear from me or from any level headed conservative that this is the epitome of what it means to own a firearm or have 2nd Amendment rights.
Some of us own weapons in hopes we never have to use them. At all. Those who wish to taint our causes by insisting on waging war against government are few and will be immediately condemned for their actions.
That's fascinating and irrelevant. Do you wish to contest that repeatedly we hear from 2nd amendment defenders that the real purpose of the 2nd amendment is to enable citizens to be armed against the threat of a tyrannical government?
No it isn't. You dismiss it because you can't counter it.
The only people suggesting we take up arms against cops and government officials are anarchical zealots-- so far to the right that I can't even begin to fathom what goes on in their minds. I am a fervid advocate of the 2nd Amendment. I also believe that government is the problem. But then again, I don't want to destroy government, I want it redone, peacefully. I will adamantly deny that we want to take our guns and go murder a cop or two because we hate the President.
You blatantly stereotype us for the words and actions of a bunch of loons who in all reality shouldn't be let around a sharpened pencil, much less a loaded firearm.
