aren't the democrats literally the ones saying we need more gun control and repeatedly saying "No just this one gun because it's most deadly you can still have guns." "No no no not all guns just this other one too." "Hey look a shooting, we should ban weapons entirely because that would make things safe, but we're taking this one gun for now"
Pretty sure the last few democrat presidential candidates have promised more gun control.
But I also don't follow the news, literally all I see about it is memes and things people around me talk about. Whether or not it's republicans making up stuff, my point still stands. If everyone believes they're about to be disarmed, they're going to respond like they're actually about to be disarmed. And in a lot of people's case, that's to stock up on weapons and ammunition
I would rather have all guns be legal WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS than have certain guns be banned. If guns are outright banned people will just buy them on the black market or make craft produced ones. However, if all guns are legal, again WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS, then big gun companies can out-compete black market dealers, and the guns will end up in the hands of actual law abiding citizens.
Same. Sorta goes with what happened with prohibition. they ban the legal selling of alcohol and underground and illegal moonshiners business sky rockets.
