It's virtue signalling for the 2A crowd

ok now I got to ask what is the 2A crowd or what does it even mean? Sorry to sound old but kind of seems I am catching up everyday on lingo.

The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution, which enshrines some legal rights to being armed in the Constitution.

2A = Second Amendment, the holy text of gun fetishists.

No worries, 2A is short for second amendment, the one that said people should have guns because a well regulated militia was necessary for national defense.
