They use the second amendment as a reason to openly brandish guns for no reason other than "because I can". Think of all those times when people carried assault rifles on their routine shopping trips.
Then, when someone actually uses the second amendment for its intended purpose, to fight back against a tyrannical government, those same people complain.

"Just obey the police and they won't kill you."
In that case, everything a police officer says comes with an implied death threat. Therefore:
- There's no such thing as consenting to a search or a valid confession.
- Any sex a police officer has is automatic rape. Any sex a police officer proposes is automatic attempted rape.
- A police officer approaching someone and starting a conversation with them is kidnapping.
- A police officer asking to enter someone's home is attempted burglary.
You can't have it both ways. You don't get to require compliance with police officers under threat of death while also believing that a consensual interaction with a police officer is possible.
