In reply to the discussion: Two Big Reasons Why New Gun Controls Aren't Going to Happen [View all]Riftaxe
(2,693 posts)8. It will be like last time I suspect
First the members of congress will check their stock portfolio's
(which is why last time my shotgun was banned....small Italian company)
Upon discovering that banning select firearms will not affect them financially, they will then to decide to focus
on appearance of arms (pistol grips, jagged corners, etc).
Last ban i sold my shotgun for x300% and my little .22LR rifle for x200% because the idiots who wrote the law, had now clue about the law they were writing.
last round they banned a shotgun and a plinking rifle, both of which is still in circulation but i have no idea or control of them these days...

I'm certain there will be no EFFECTIVE action and the massacres will continue. We'll have to keep

Yes it would be far better to militarize all public spaces than to restrict in any way your access

I hadn't noticed the huge number of massacres committed with full auto weapons.

Schoolchildren aren't criminals. They do not deserve to be put into prison every day.

Yup. It took 100 years after Lincoln's 13th for LBJ to secure voting rights/civil rights
