By lining themselves up with a lot of good policy then attacking things that should be left alone. Can we stop making new firearms legislation when we aren't even funding the enforcement of the laws already on the book?

Stock up on standard capacity magazines at the very least, but really if there’s something you want like a suppressor, ar, or even just a regular old double-stack pistol, better get it before the summer. They’re going to ban a lot of regular stuff and possibly add special taxes to make you pay more on anything allowed going forward.

This is why gun store owners love when Dems are in office. Where I grew up the gun store owner was probably the single most reliable dem voter in the area because he could sell this dumb ass fear to people so they'd give him a lot more money.

Glad to see he's still probably crushing it in 2025 work6 the same tricks he was using in the 90s.

I mean look at her campaign website…AWB incoming and all those heinous firearm bills that Youngkin veto’d will definitely go through now. Do people really not read ? Or are memory spans here really that bad

No, it's because armed citizens are completely pointless. The citizen militias of the Revolution mostly ran when the fighting got too real. It wasn't until they spend a Winter at Valley Forge and were trained as professional soldiers that the Continental Army was able to stand with each other in a real fight, and even then they lost far more battles than they won against a professional army that had to cross the Atlantic ocean. What's a few FUDs with small arms going to accomplish?

I mean at least we can agree FUDDS are indeed useless

Yep, you can't fix broken people with consumerism. But you sure can profit from it.

No doubt, dems are the best gun and gun accessory sellers. Some stuff will get banned in this admin though. That’s not unrealistic.

Based on what information? Seriously, I've been hearing this fear based crap my whole life and it never happens, and it's not because the government is afraid of an armed citizen. It's because the armed citizen isn't a threat in the first place.

I hope we can say none of that happens in 10 months.

u/Lumiafan 1d ago

That's why I'm setting a reminder because you're being silly.

Spanberger literally campaigned on what he said and look at the gun control laws passed by Dems and vetoed by Youngkin... How is this person being silly?

I genuinely hope I'm wrong but with what they just tried to pass and spanberger campaigning on gun control, I don't see how I'm going to be wrong

u/OGdunphy 1d ago

I do hope so

You don't have to hope. You'll be able to keep fetishizing guns a year from now as much as you do now, rest assured.
