Read a couple of articles listed on the site. One thing that always strikes me is that the writers think the Asshat Weapon Ban actually kept people from legally buying mag fed semiauto rifles. My non-gunnie friends believe this too. Oh, that Australia confiscation that was so great? Even Vox admits it was only 2 out of every 10 guns. I’ve got at least two crappy guns I’d sell to the Feds. Get some tax money back.
JFM, maybe so, maybe not. As Ayn Rand pointed out decades ago, the purpose of many laws is to create a large class of people who have broken that law. This allows the government to go after some of them — selectively — whenever those in power feel it’s desirable to lock up some more “deplorables”.
The AWB back in 1994-2004, only banned the importation and sale of some semi-auto weapons with certain features. It actually did not include some which had already been imported and did not have certain features like threaded barrels. I purchased a Russian AK from a local FFL during the AWB in 2003. It had a detachable 30 rd mag, although the law limited mags to 10 rds, but, as I understand, had been imported before the ban, it had no bayonet lug and the muzzle break was welded on instead of detachable.
Current bans would be far more restrictive and some even want to ban POSSESSION and criminalize those of have legally purchased guns. They want to also include ALL semi-autos which would include most legally held pistols. Of course, these laws would EXEMPT the government, it’s agents and probably the private armed security of wealthy elites who want us disarmed.
It’s a self-evident truth, those who want to take from others what they have and keep for themselves are evil and they are your enemy!

More like a list of leftists who admit they are demanding gun confiscation.
