    Reminder that it was Reagan who took guns away in California because he didnt want Black Panthers having guns.

      I am 100% aware, thank you. But that doesn’t change the fact that dems have to spout garbage about gun bans every time they open their mouths.

        Red flag laws to prevent nutbags from owning assault rifles isn’t ‘a gun ban’. No one’s treading on you sweetie. No one step on snek.

        You just feel so persecuted someone might DARE to regulate your fetish it gets you all worked up.

          So many assumptions in one comment, lmao. You don’t know me, but nice attempt at insulting me.

          But FWIW, “assault weapons ban” is literally a “ban” and they’ve been pushing it for years. I’m not talking about red flag laws.

          EDIT: Okay I’m seriously confused why so many of you outright deny that dems are constantly talking about gun bans. Do you watch the news, like at all? No matter the source, and AT LEAST every election cycle, there’s a constant stream of pushing for an assault weapons ban. You have to be actually living under a rock to have never seen those words written or spoken by a dem.

          And FWIW, THIS IS COMING FROM A DEM. I am against gun bans, but why the fuck are you lying and denying that dems don’t talk about gun bans??? Are you trying to play stupid?

            I can see that you’re seriously confused. You even think you’re a dem.

            Wow.

              I’m not a dem because the only issue I disagree with Dems on is guns? Despite the fact that I vote dem? Ok buddy

              You know, you can vote a certain way but still disagree with and be vocal about certain issues.

              1. So you’re okay with the government seizing your property and most likely not giving you the cash value of your rifles (because if you think they will, that’s hilarious)

              2. People need long guns for as long as conservatives are going to attempt insurrections and threaten civil war. But no let’s just ignore everything that happened in 2020.

              I need to make a c/AsAGunOwner you’re a gun owner like I’m the king of England.

              You even saying the word assault rifle is hilarious…you cannot just buy an assault rifle, they are just dressed up plastic semi-automatic rifles…and you’d know that if you were an actual gun owner.

      Nobody who has been on Reddit or Lemmy for any amount of time needs a reminder about that because it gets repeated 1 million times per day on every platform whenever gun control is mentioned.
