Are stricter gun laws, BANS coming to the land of the free?

[Honkey_Kong]

All righty, then. *Admin* has gotten that cleared up, and I have (hopefully) gotten some of the off track dialogue out of the thread.

Y'all know I'm about pro-2A as you will find. In fact, I just received my Crimson Trace CMR-206 on one of my AR-15s. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to align it with my Primary Arms prism scope later today. I have to say the green laser has a better contrast and is much easier for my eyes to pick up, even in daylight vs. a red laser. I will admit that I may end up buying a Steiner DBAL-A3 for one of my other AR-15s, which will open up another can of worms.

But anyway, thanks for everyone's patience while this situation was handled. Now, the thread is reopened so we can discuss ( in a friendly manner) our thoughts and please remember Bettlegeuse's original premise for the thread:

Are stricter gun laws, BANS coming to the land of the free?

Stricter gun laws are always going to be coming until guns are banned entirely. The people passing these laws don't care about "sensible gun laws." That's just it as an angle they work to push anti-gun legislation through. It's similar to how they got cannabis legalized in many states. They started with saying "but it's for medical purposes." That was their foot in the door (mind you, I'm not anti-weed either, but I understand how they worked it through the system).

In California, the goal of legalizing pot was about added tax revenue, in short $$$. As long as guns make the mullah, they ain’t going extinct anytime in the future.

So what you are saying is that if tobacco & alcohol kill far more than gun violence, yet they are still legal because of the $ they bring to this country (and certain folks) we won’t get rid of guns? Isn’t that well, kind of all about the money in a way?

Totally disagree that guns will be totally illegal. I will bet anybody any amount of money over any time frame in my lifetime. (Slight hyperbole - I actually don’t gamble much at all.)
I don’t know a single individual who feels that all guns should be illegal.

Besides... there is money in guns. Our government is pro-money.

When you have the politicians pushing for this gun legislation like Pelosi, Feinstein and that sexy retard AOC actually saying their ultimate goal is a total ban on guns, you have to think there is only so much ground to give up. Will it totally be banned in my lifetime? I'm not sure. They'll definitely slow-play this. But restricting magazines to 10 rounds. Requiring the magazines to be fixed. Extra stamp taxes, Background checks on ammunition sales, banning of all AR's that are not featureless, handgun rosters that in order to add 1 gun to it (rosters of guns legally able to sell) 3 have to be removed.

These are mostly Commiefornia laws on books, but you're seeing them rolling out nationwide. Eventually, everything aside from shotguns and bolt actions will be banned. Eventually to have access to those firearms, you'll have to be a member of a gun club and your guns will have to be housed there. That's the final plan.

And you're right about there being money in guns. And impending bans sell guns at inflated prices. So during the whole time of giving up ground, people will spend big money to "get what they can." Gun bans sell more NRA memberships than anything.

We both know that ain't true. Hell, I live in Texas and know people that think guns should be illegal. And I know you do too.

As far as politicians, well some are afraid to say it. Thats all.
