This is why I dont worry about gun laws, I know that whatever laws they try to create, they will not be effective in the least.


100s of 1000s of illegal guns out there today and more being smuggled in all the time.


Its not going to stop, despite what the govt tries. LOL

What they are attempting to do with bans and restrictions is a violation of the 2nd Amendment by definition, as bans and restrictions are an infringement of a right that cannot legally be infringed.
Biden stated that the 2nd amendment was never supposed to be permanent. He is a liar. If one was to feel that more restrictions should be applied to the 2nd amendment, it should never come from this awful, Orwellian administration.

There's a Constitutional right at issue, first of all.

The Narrative is lying about pretty much everything related to guns, including support for gun control, second of all.

Take some time to read some critiques of opinion polls suggesting support for gun control. Most can be pretty easily picked apart to identify how they were designed to elicit specific responses.

The polling industry is almost as dirty as the media industry. That should've been made exceptionally clear to anyone paying attention during/after the 2016 election cycle.

If you don't have even a basic grasp of how polls are manipulated, you're being manipulated by polls. Just sayin'.

Both a well regulated militia as well as the Govt. being able to pass laws to protect the population.

Assault weapons are not needed. Regulation is needed.



The NRA will have a thing or two to say. They are the main problem.

Actually, it's progressives that are the main problem. If it weren't for progressives that want to ban semi-automatic weapons and so called high capacity magazines there were would be no need for the NRA to exist as a political lobby group and they could focus on firearms safety and training. Last year the NRA contributed a total of $149,225 to 108 members of the House and Senate. Per Open Secrets they rank 1,183 of 25,950 groups that donate to politicians. The NRA is vilified because every extremist movement needs a boogeyman.

Maybe they have failed because of that little "Shall Not be Infringed" thing?

Name the last Republican administration that tried to get rid of any gun laws?


Heck, the real problem is the states themselves when it comes to gun laws! Who would have ever thought the states would be tougher on guns than the feds?!! Where is the logic in that? Are not the states supposed to protect our rights? LOL

........
Trump.


He got rid of the SS rule that those who can't manage their affairs could not buy guns. Don't you remember the headlines where they said Trump made it possible for crazy people to buy guns?

Think about it ,
Some one determined to cause mayhem is not going where he is likely to get stopped right away. They typically choose less resistive targets.
However the more people trained and armed make their target less appealing to the crazy.
Why do you think our founding fathers listed guns second to speech?
Because they knew governments tend to go currupt. Just like it is now.
It is not conservatives that are a threat to society.

Why should we change anything? Well over 60% of all gun deaths in the United States are gun owners shooting and killing themselves, their friends and family members. And the best news is that about 85% of these victims are rural white males.

Commie libs have this all backwards.
