May I suggest moving to rural northwest Pennsylvania? It’s like rural Alabama, but colder.
You must be in intense suffering knowing upstate is in the sticks. NY has the same unenforceable garbage laws CA does.

So, no real response. Thought so.

It's just another toothless regulation passed by politicians.

BTW--Denver isn't as leftist as people are saying. Parts of the city itself are pretty prog, but other parts, and the suburbs, are not. It's more libertarian than anything--hence (R) voters' support of MJ legalization.

What do you consider "civilized?" Anyone to the left of Bernie?

What about "barbaric?" Anyone to the right of Mao?

If the bans do nothing, well then why not just play along and put the bans through. Letting people think they got something, while -- according to many of you -- they really didn't get anything.

What harm is there?

Why would we volunteer for something proven not to work in the past. Is this a trick question?

But you aren't volunteering -- you didn't offer it up. It is being DEMANDED. From what everyone says here -- the bans do nothing so what does it matter if they go through.

Few bump stocks were turned in probably because very few people had them. Window dressing to appease the Leftists.

No, no it's not a demand because it's already been proven that legally they cannot do that. People are being asked to turn them in and no bump stocks are showing up. Again, why would we volunteer to do this?

All a ban does is make it more difficult for the law abiding to purchase them. It does nothing for the existing and nothing from people getting them in other ways than local stores.
