Good thing D’s don’t want to take our guns.

Democrats are as smart on guns as Republicans are on public lands.

Liz Warren has this one wrong.

Clever whataboutism Benjamin.

Clever whataboutism Benjamin.

It's true. Neither party has a lock on bad ideas & guns & public lands are good comparators. Both things that people care about, etc.

And, as I said, Liz Warren has this wrong. Would you simply prefer I get a pitchfork & stop thinking?

Good thing it has already gone as far as it will go.

SIP protocol sir, I get it.

Not something he does the other way too often...

 

[AvidIndoorsman]

Seems to essentially mirror the current MA gun laws with a few added enforcement provisions.

[Cogreeny]

Who needs guns liz’s people goter done with bows and arrows.

 

[AvidIndoorsman]

Oh boy

 

[Irrelevant]

That sure seems like some terrible legislation.

One good nugget. All future firearms would stamped with the manufacture date. I would definitely support that. So much easier than deciphering some archaic symbol scheme trying to figure out how old it is.

 

[Ben Lamb]

It could certainly.make it easier for confiscation if they have specific dates on the approved guns, but not others that have only serial numbers & proof marks.

OK, I actually went through the majority of the bill. Uh, yeah... Don't know where this is in the process but there are things in there that are pretty bad. Good Lord, just the new taxes imposed on firearms and ammo would cripple plenty of people from buying anything! Hopefully it dies somewhere.

 

[schmalts]

She must want even more gun and ammo sales than is currently going on. Just curious if most here even have an idea of the virus gun sales. It's not getting the news to show the magnitude. My supplier normally ships the same day and now is 10 days backlogged. Insane

 

[Ben Lamb]

We needed it. PR funds have diminished since 2016.

Introduced Feb 5 and passed to the senate finance committee that day. There it sits and I imagine there it will die.

Warren is a political survivor savvy in maintaining relevancy to her tribe....

Virginia governor signs gun-control bills into law

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has signed several new gun restrictions he championed during this year’s legislative session, cementing gains by gun control advocates they hope will serve as a “blueprint” for states around the country

I work part time at a gun store and I can vouch for the crazy ass sales figures. We've probably sold 4-6 months worth of guns and ammo in the last 3 weeks. Can't keep 9mm, 40, & 45 in stock. we received 30 Glocks last Friday, sold them all on Saturday
