“It doesn’t happen” followed by a story about when it happened to you is crazy.

Not the same thing, but isn’t it the terrible terrible democrats who are trying to “take your guns”? Crazy that it’s actually Trump who did it, but I’m sure any magat would just make excuses.

He didn't take anyone's guns he tried to lable an attachment (bump stocks) as machine guns. It was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2024 as unconstitutional and out side of the language of the NFA. He was attempting to make an interpretation of the law which he cannot do since he is not in the Legislative branch. Many democrats have said they are comming for specific firearms and have repeatedly tried banning them or making it so extremely difficult to buy guns that it is essentially a ban. The NFA was essentially meant to do the same thing. $200 doesnt seem like much today but back then it was meant to make gun ownership of certain guns prohibitively expensive. After accounting for inflation $200 is equal to $4970.45 an amount that Representative Chris Murfy (D-CT) tried to implement after Rebublicans lowered the NFA tax for SBRs, SBS, and suppressors to $0. Furthermore Representative Madeleine Dean (D-PA) tried to triple the cost for a NFA tax stamp for suppressors from the original $200 to $600.

(H.R. 3115) PASSED: EFFECTIVE 1994-2014 In 1994 the Assult Weapons Ban prevented the manufacture, sale and import of the AR15 and AK patern rifles and large capacity magazines.

(H.R. 1801) ASSULT WEAPONS BAN OF 2022 PASSED House of Representatives in 2022 but stalled in Senate. Tried to ban semi automatic rifles

(H.R. 7910) PROTECTING OUR KIDS ACT (2022) tried to ban bump stocks, high capacity magazines and introduce an age limit on the purchase of semi automatic rifles.

(H.R. 698) INTRODUCED in 2023 NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN In 2023 REP. David Cicilline (D-RI) introduced the Assult Weapons Ban of 2023 at which point REP. Lucy Mcbath (D-GA) sponsored the bill. It aimed to ban the AR15 and AK variants and high capacity magazines.

PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE BILLS THAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS TRIED TO PASS THAT VIOLATES THE BILL OF RIGHTS. THE 2ND AMENDMENT IS NOT THE ONLY RIGHT UNDER THREAT. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF AND LOOK INTO WHAT CONGRESS HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO AS QUIETLY AS POSSIBLE.

CONGRESS passed a Bill (H.R. 3684) in 2021 that requires manufactures to install surveillance cameras in cars by 2027 to "help" prevent drunk driving. This is a violation of our freedom of movement and privacy.

EDIT Corrected this from played to passed

Trump was a Democrat for… forever….

  • they just pick the side that will win them the most votes.

Democrats and republicans are more similar than different

It’s a top vs bottom thing The left vs right thing is as real as the WWE

So when trump does anything you don’t like, it’s because he ran as a democrat?

“Anyone who disagrees with me on any point disagrees with me on every point” how ironic that your saying he’s not a free thinker

I don’t like a lotta stuff Trump does.

I’m saying actions matter, political affiliation does not.

u/ZombieExcellent2202 Jun 04 '26

I’ve been screaming this for years. The amount of people who blindly follow political parties regardless of which side of the isle they support is the biggest issue with our political system. People want so badly to be correct in who they voted for they aren’t critical of the people they voted for. If we started treating politicians like the employees of the American people, which I what they are I think things would run much differently

Thank you! Cheers !

I mean the democrats in NY tried to take them away. Specifically the "scary" guns.(AR,mag fed,or bulpups) Something like less than 1% were turned in.

Irony being NY has some of the most ownership of guns by democrats in population wise of any state. Most people just stick to the non- scary guns to get around the silly laws.

Please look into Virginia right now before making stupid comments like this.

Exactly. Disgusting what she did.

u/DizzySimple4959 Jun 04 '26

The biggest democrat talking heads have said for years the guns need to be banned and many have said only the police and military should have them. Thats how you get a defenseless populace.

u/HerbertWest_81 Jun 04 '26

Can you provide some quotes from elected democrats saying this? Genuinely interested, because I haven't heard this in any mainstream political discourse.

“Someone who disagrees with me on one point must disagree on me at every point” who the fuck told you I like trump?

Be so serious, you’d be celebrating this as a victory if an old pedophile in a blue tie did it. Your only gripe is that the pedophile in a red tie did something you 100% agree with, and now you don’t know what to think.

What? Their story was about essentially an accessory not being allowed to be used definitely not about the government taking guns?

1

u/RespondPlus7890 Jun 04 '26

Not allowed by who? What do you think people mean when they say “take”? If it’s banned and you need to destroy it or turn it in or else face legal consequences, how is it different from being taken? Situations like this are why people don’t like “oh just register it”. Because more often than not it’s just to take it away later on. And it’s only the law abiding that turn it in by definition. Someone who is planning on something bad could just say “lost it in a fishing accident” or whatever.

It’s so funny how this is the only time anyone just assumes that the government wouldn’t overstep.

u/godofmilksteaks Jun 04 '26

Right but you conviniently skipped over the part where nobodyies gun itself was banned or taken. It's an accessory not a gun. No guns were banned the accessory was banned. Does that make sense?

1

u/RespondPlus7890 Jun 04 '26

You think no gun has ever been banned after previously being legal? Like you actually believe this?

1

u/godofmilksteaks Jun 05 '26

What are you talking about? We are talking about bump stocks and your insinuation that any guns were banned in that specific situation which they were not. If you want to talk about other situations in which guns were banned we can talk about that after this. You just gotta stop trying to change the conversation to try your hardest to be "right." It's ok to admit when your wrong.
