Bite me. I'm simply stating what will happen. You have to make it personal because you know I'm right. You can discuss what is going to happen without supporting it.
Its never going to happen.
The people with the guns are the ones who are going to be able to say what happens.
So there will never be another assault weapons ban, for example.
Gun laws never make any sense.
The cause of all the gun violence in the US is clearly the War on Drugs, not legal guns.
That plays a large role but obviously it's not the reason for all the violence. Nobody cares that much if drug dealers take each other out.
The War on Drugs tempts poor people because of the high profits.
But they have to have guns since they can't use banks or call the police for protection.
That is where over 90% of murders in the US come from.
While there are a lot of murder/suicide lately, those people are not going to be effected by any gun law you pass.
And all federal gun laws are just inherently illegal.
Will the laws make any difference? No, but we will still do them.
Everyone should care if the War on Drugs has caused so many people to be armed, shot at, or killed.
First of all, drug dealers do not deserve to die.
They are not really doing anything wrong, and drugs are just the cheap equivalent for the poor, to expensive suba, ski, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, private planes, etc., that are far more dangerous recreation of the wealthy.
Second is that most of the people shot in drug turf wars are innocents.
Third is that Drug War guns have to be constantly accessible, so end up turning minor road rage or night club disputes into something far more deadly then they would normally be.
And I do not think we will make any new gun laws,
The SCOTUS trend is that they recognize now that the 2nd amendment is an individual right and not just a prohibition against federal infringement. It is almost inevitable then that all federal gun laws eventually be struck down. There is no other possible SCOTUS interpretation.
The possible new gun laws mostly around background checks and assault weapons ban, and neither of those will be at all likely.
The claim there is a background check loophole is just a lie. You can not buy firearms over the internet, at guns shows, etc., without a background check.
The assault weapons ban will not be tolerated because there just is no such thing as an assault weapon. Historically a pair of pistols were used by mounted troops as assault weapons in the Civil War. In WWI, it was the trench pump shotgun. In WWII it was the M-1 carbine. Etc. So the reality is that any and all firearms can be used as assault weapons. There is no one specific identifying characteristic.
And clearly the intent of the founders was for Citizen Soldiers. They wanted and expected every single household to have military grade weapons. They did NOT at all want the police, (who did not even exist back then), or a professional mercenary military, to have a monopoly on military grade firearms.
So any new gun laws will be crossing the line in the sand. The result would be civil war. The SCOTUS knows this. Actually most of Congress also knows this as well. There are over 30 million assault weapons owned already, and there are dozens of companies, employing millions, who make nothing else. There clearly is no longer going to be any tolerance for new gun laws. The world is far too violent for that now.
