Direct confiscation is not going to work. It will be continued sniping around the edges. It is a lot like their attempts to restrict free speech. They are restricting it by restricting “hate speech” first and they and only they get to define what is hate speech.
The fake gun control arguments has always we are restricting your ability to buy but not own. Background checks to use a clearly expressed right in the Constitution. You don’t have to pass a background check to assemble, to have freedom of the press or free speech that they don’t claim is hate speech. It is this one right they hate so much. Part ignorance, part hating guns for what a few do with them to break the law, part sheep being told what to hate. And no gun law is going to stop those who want to abuse them for criminal purposes. Hammers, bats and knives are just as good at deadly. A lot of this is the Hollywood education too many have. Too many movies show how easy it is to hit a small target while riding a horse over rough ground. It is damn near impossible in real life but they make it seem like everyone can. It is fake news. Same with the computer games. All fake.
There are 300 million plus guns, 10-15 million AR15 type guns. They are going to be guns in this country forever.
+1. Well thought out and reasoned John. This is the reality that the Gov faces, even if just for registration.
And as I pointed out in another thread, before it was deleted, Sen. Manchin, thankfully, is already in opposition.
