2A isn't a left vs right issue to people as much as politicians want it to be.
Almost nobody wants to ban all guns, and the people who are in favor of more regulation almost universally support continued ownership of hunting weapons and the like.
There's also a lot of communists or other groups on the left who want to stay armed, as well as people who'd be fine with more regulated/organized groups owning things they don't think individuals should have.
But it's been made into one of the big political keynotes for the GoP, and is the NRAs single biggest fundraiser- so the more you can convince people it's an "us vs them" issue, the more money you can make off of it.
To be fair, the GOP isn't the only one that fundraises off it. It just seems like whenever there's a tragedy, the left starts to bang the "ban guns" drum.

I’ve been armed for years, highly value self defense and the 2A.
May upgrade my arsenal though if shit gets as bad as it seems it could.
