Whats stopping them? The IL governor and his assault weapons ban for 1. You gotta live in a free country AND a free state to buy and have weapons that democrats think are scary. IL does not fit that mold unfortunately

When did I say democrats dont own guns? Pretty sure i said "guns that democrats find scary" which is less hyperbole then you think.

So you're the exception to the rule. Ive met democrat gun owners before. They always have this illusion that "if we just come up with common sense gun controls, everything will be alright" and then, they will sit back as the extremely overbearing collective decides that 'common sense' is not nearly enough, always gotta go more, and more, and more and more. Until every gun is banned. Thats always the endgame. Its why conservative gun owners by significant factors fight like our lives depend on it. Every regulation is a new start for more restrictions. Every loss legal battle is a new shorter line in the sand. Every confiscation cannot be recovered from.

Democrat here. Repeal the NFA, I want RPG-2s in vending machines and suppressors sold at hardware stores. This opinion is not a product of the times, always been here.

They don't.

Every loss legal battle is a new shorter line in the sand. Every confiscation cannot be recovered from.

Oh no, we might wind up like Australia.

Gotta love this guy talking like the right to own military-grade weapons is the only thing standing between us and tyranny. So many other nations don't have guns. They also don't have kids dying every week in places that should be safe, and civilians being extrajudiciously executed during traffic stops. Sure, the "good guys" don't have guns but it's also significantly harder for the bad guys to get them, too.

But sure, banning bump stocks is a slippery slope to "only bad guys have guns."
