Its much harder to get a gun in blue areas than red areas. So we get fascists having easy access to guns, while anti-fascists have trouble getting guns. What a shitty start to the civil war.
Democrats want gun permits to be “may issue” instead of “shall issue” which would allow cops to deny minorities of their constitutional right to own a gun. Seriously, democrats need to drop the gun issue.
You’re not taking into account the 250 years our country has had guns be fully legal & how bad our cops are
I know people with generations of functioning firearms that have been hoarded. I’ve seen people who own multiple functional M60s
Take into consideration as well that the very people who would enforce these bans (cops) are very supportive of these weapons stockpiles (frequently they ARE them) and they’re racist and want to keep their power as-is
Now: do you maybe see why even a leftie here might push back against gun laws? The people who’d enforce it would get to remove weapons from those they don’t want having them while ensuring they get to keep whatever they want
It’s literally what happens every time we pass laws restricting gun ownership. I know of a shit ton of cops here in California with very illegal weaponry that they occasionally brag they fucking stole from minorities when the laws were passed
I think that’s exactly what I mean. It all stems from a culture of gun ownership that feels uniquely American. It’s instilled in the mindset growing up but now I can see the US from the outside.
The thing is, normally it’s not even a ban. It’s just a regulation or registration requirement.

It’s always weird to hear Americans argue against gun control because all these fears about and around regulation feel uniquely American.

Registration = (eventual) confiscation
