Excellent article. Especially this part:

"By this point, the threat to American gun owners and to Americans generally should be clear. The Fourth Amendment protects our right to be secure in our persons and properties from unreasonable searches and seizures. It declares that this right shall not be violated, echoing the language of the Second Amendment. Watchlists and data sweeps are brazen cases of ignoring the restrictions on government power. We in the gun community often oppose calls for universal background checks precisely because we see a risk in allowing the government to know who owns every legal gun purchased after the passage of the law. But if we sit quietly by and accept other intrusions, ultimately, the results will be the same. We have to see gun rights as one among many, all of which must be protected for everyone. The individual limits that the Bill of Rights places on government power reinforce each other. Letting go of one of them opens the door to all manner of violations."

Sharing. Thanks.

Sure thing.
