I live in a country (Romania) with almost no legal guns, so I am missing some context. I thought that with the USA constitution guns are a right that "shall not be infringed", so what exactly "anti-gun" means: changing the constitution or ignoring it? Most of the news I see, people are trying to ignore it, which is basically ignoring the laws. In this case, Amazon breaking some laws seems to fit well in the picture.

It's an attempt to pick an example that "works" - most people on HN will not be sad that the union supports a political party, because it's the party they also support.
The Constitution is not “the law”, it only restricts what the government can do, not individuals.

Guns are a right but only to a limited extent. No right is absolute. The debate right now is how far this right extends.

Thank you for the explanation.
