Are people who cite the 2nd Amendment honestly familiar with what it establishes?

I grew up around firearms, when they were left on racks in pickups and displayed in wood and glass cabinets, much like a China cabinet. After high school, I joined the Navy and while I wasn't around firearms everyday, I was around plenty of firearms and have fired more different firearms than most in the military.

After I retired, I didn't feel the need to immediately acquire my own firearm and was more focused on transitioning and making the most of my civilian life. In 2021, I was living in Nashville, when protestors set fire to the Capitol building. The civil unrest gave me an uncomfortable feeling and I realized I was not equipped to protect my family. It was then that I decided I wanted a firearm. I spent six months or more researching firearms, ammo and laws relating to carrying a firearm in public. I had some missteps at work and was investigated related to owning a firearm. Twice I was asked questions during the investigation and already knew the law that answered the question, because I had already done my homework and I had acted legally. I did have to look up the number of the law in the Tennessee code so the investigator could verify the information I gave them.

Now, my question for you, is are you honestly familiar with a what the 2A establishes?!?

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

I cannot speak for everyone who cites the Second Amendment, but I can speak for myself.

All that to say, when I say I have studied the Second Amendment, what it says and what it means, I put as much time and effort into knowing the 2A, as I did Tennessee law and which firearm I chose for my first and why. I am intimately familiar with what the 2A established.
