Majority of voters democratically supporting gun control laws in their states: unacceptable violation of the Constitution.

Using an amendment equal in legal force to the 2nd Amendment to lawfully bar someone from running for an office for which they are, legally, ineligible: using the text of the Constitution to illegally override voters democratic will.

And Americans wonder why they're a laughing stock.

@taco that's not what happened, though.

The 14th doesn't stop anyone from running for anything, so it can't be used to on its own bar someone from running.

And that's not even getting into all of the issues of misinterpretation of the amendment itself.

Might as well use the 2nd Amendment to end elections altogether. It's not what the amendment says, so all bets are off at that point.
