Irony and the 2nd Amendment

[PegLeg45]

I've thought this several times, but a post today by a friend on FB summed it up in a neat package in a statement by one of his friends about how ironic the current political actions are concerning the 2nd Amendment.
We've been rightly calling it hypocritical, because many of them have armed guards and some own guns and have permits, but this statement is toward the irony of overall trend.
The three links that follow were posted in the comments from a blogger and were interesting also.

Does anyone else see the irony in the Gov/White House tells gun owners they are paranoid thinking the 2nd Amendment is about protection from Tyranny.
Yet immediately after saying this the same government then plans an end run around congress to implement laws outside the constitutional structure for legislation specifically to curtail citizens rights - meanwhile ignoring the actual established responsibilities of office.
