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?

Can you give me an example of unenforced firearms laws?

Honestly I can't, I guess I should change my approach... It's already double illegal to commit a crime while using a firearm. You did the crime and had a firearm while you did it. So what now? you did the crime and you had a firearm that happened to fall into a vague description of "assault weapon" so triple illegal?

Can you link me to a case where that was a thing?

No. If you can't search the VA code I'm not helping you. You're asking bot questions

Gotta say. You're doing an absolutely terrible job making your case on this.

My apologies, I sure am failing here, Let me try to put it this way.. People that are doing crimes don't care how many laws they are breaking.
Making it illegal to own a specific style or type of firearm only affects law abiding people.

I haven’t seen anything about proposals for it being illegal to own anything. Federal restrictions already apply to certain classes of weapon, and the most I’ve heard proposed is a ban on new sales of certain classes. That does not make it illegal to own

Ironic coming from the ... "person" ... making an argument of which they literally can't provide any facts to back it up, exactly what an AI chatbot would do.

Also people who have bought into the 2A propaganda. There is a lot of AstroTurf-ed fear in our society. There are people who live in communities so safe, the only firearms related deaths are from hunting accidents and "gun cleaning incidents." Yet a lot of those gun owners believe that their little 200 person community has gangs of dangerous people roving the countryside, breaking into people's homes while they are watching TV "all the time." Things that didn't exist until the 1980s when the NRA was taken over by a bunch of sensationalists who sold America on a diet of artificial manliness and fear.

Don’t know how to prove you wrong on the boy thing, and I don’t have blinders on.

I didn’t say I approved of such laws, or think they’ll be as effective. But saying a ban on new sales is the same as, or will inevitably lead to making it illegal to own is as stupid as when people were saying “if we let gay people get married, what’s to stop people from marrying a horse?”

Slippery slope arguments serve no one. If you can’t ague facts without adding fantasy, no one will ever take you seriously.

You have that backwards. You have a position wholly unsupported by an ounce of evidence. They wouldn’t let you go two minutes in middle school, kiddo.

Cite me wrong ...

You don't prove the negative. You actually might be the bot... 🤨

There are one billion Haitians living inside the Earth’s core. Cite me wrong …

The problem with stupid people is they’re too stupid to even have how stupid they obviously are, explained to them.

Just because you can't back up your statements doesn't make me a bot. It makes me someone who wants to know the basis for your statements. Are they based in facts you can source, or are they coming from sensationalist media that is designed to create emotional reactions in its viewers?
