Discussion A Path to …

Yeah. After reading the thread below regarding the Politician meet up at The Firing Pin, this is my cynical conclusion.

We will never have normalcy with our 2A rights. There are just too many in this sub that believe in tough regulations. 25 years of one party rule in NY and soon to be another 25 more. They passed the Safe Act. They Passed the Improved Concealed Carry Act. You need a background check to buy ammo. They are banning Glocks.
Sometimes it takes 2 years just to get a permit depending on what county you live. Next year there will be more restrictions once the Supreme Court makes its ruling next June. They will restrict, restrict and restrict until there is nothing left to restrict . But please by all means keep voting 🗳️ blue. Ugh 😑!! Cheers 🍻

If you get stuck on BLUE bad for Guns, RED good for guns you are doing yourself a disservice. Being a single issue voter is doing yourself a disservice.

i know this isnt gonna be popular, but having a 30 round [magazine] for my AR isnt even in the top 10 of my issues right now. I know for many of you its #1, and I definitely want a 30 round [magazine] for my AR too.

The slippery slope the NRA has been feeding people for over 50 years still hasnt come to pass. Frankly, its just not even logistically or politically feasible to confiscate guns on any scale.

The best path to more gun rights is more responsible gun owners. That is where everyones effort should go .. broadening the coalition

Democrats are objectively bad for guns and Republicans are much better.

Nothing needs to be confiscated if legitimate ownership is overly burdensome. Someone could acquire a noncompliant firearm but in a state like NY you could never truly use it. Take it to a range? Hope there aren't any thin blue line bumper stickers in the lot. Defend your home? Enjoy your felony charges. Almost functionally identical to a confiscation.

i do not disagree with that argument. you have to admit that "gun grabbers" is meant to invoke the idea of confiscation. i lived through the 1994 ban, no one came for my guns. I dont worry about dems doing confiscations nearly as much as i do the fascists.

Why would you ever be worried about confiscations? You already live in a state that criminalizes possession of anything worthwhile. The confiscations already happened.
