Oh yeah, no one.
Tell that to the people of Chicago and DC. If you don't think that the leaders of the dems don't want those kind of bans across the entire country you're either a liar or deluded.

Great thing about america is you can move if you don't like it. I thought right wingers wanted the states to legislate and not the federal government, guess that's only when it goes your way.

At one point in history you didn't even need a driver's license to drive a car. And one point you wouldn't have to go through weeks of background checks along with fingerprinting and other security checks before you'd approved to work certain jobs.

Now you do.

That's exactly right. We have lost our freedoms INCREMENTALLY over a long period of time because we have not stood up for them.

This will continue to happen unless we make up our mind not to stop it from happening.

Let's see you reprimand someone the next time they idiotically bring up guns laws in Sweden or some other foreign country that has gun laws.
