During the Bush II regime, all Republicans/Conservatives/Rightwingers, to a man/woman, were on messageboards arguing that we needed to get the oil, and/or stop Hussein, and/or bring freedumb to da peepull, etc.
Now they're pretending to have always been anti-war, and some are pretending to be anti-war now, because Trump told them to.
Go find my pro-war posts in my history and get back to me. That's why I voted Obama in 2012. Then Obama went full gun grabbing in 2013 and I started an account here.
Obama confiscated your guns?
Cuomo did, have you seen the "SAFE ACT"
I don't know what that is. Is it Federal?
{...
The New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013, commonly known as the NY SAFE Act, is a gun regulation law in the state of New York. The law was passed by the New York State Legislature and was signed into law by Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo in January 2013. The legislation was written in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, and the December 24 Webster, New York, shooting. Cuomo described the law as the toughest gun control law in the United States.
The NY SAFE Act contains a number of firearms regulations. It also contains a severability provision that allows other measures to remain in place in case the broad prohibitions against weapons are invalidated by the courts.

I do not like any gun control at all, but at least state gun control can be legal, unlike federal gun control, which is all inherently and totally illegal.
Considering Sandy Hook, it sounds reasonable to me.
We have laws about seat belts and who can have a driver's license..
Nonsense.
Driving requires training and knowledge of the laws in order to be safe.
Firearms do not.
And historically firearms laws have NEVER remotely made anyone safer, but far less safe.
Mostly because the dangers come from people who are intent on violating the law and your rights, like criminals or the police of a dictator.
Since we had to fight an armed rebellion in order to be free of England, no one should ever trust any government.
They all tend to corruption and require constant rebellion.
