There is little doubt that without the NRA lobby assault rifles would have been banned federally. A good chance that there would have been no grandfathering and you would have had to turn yours in. The next target would probably be "automatic handguns" as a class. We're talking about Feinstein being a given a free hand! If anything the NRA is too conservative, too reactive; the anti-2nd Amendment lobby is limited by nothing except the size of their dreams for a progressive future where government makes anything possible. .

The idea that a person might have to be shown to be mentally competent and capable of owning and being responsible for a firearm isn't radical.

Wouldn't you first and foremost want to make being mentally competent and responsible a requirement for voting? Or are you a radical fetishist who believes that no one should even have to show an ID to vote? Or maybe we can assume that everyone over the age of 18, not incarcerated in a penal or mental institution, is actually a...wait for it...citizen.

Sounds like you want tough negotiations with oil production corporations getting tax breaks...so you can dump piles of tax money on construction corporations dreaming up scam "public works" projects. The only way to get government to spend tax money better is to make sure it has hardly any.

Millions of children are aborted by their parents, the deaths of "innocents" are 100% meaningless, and this method actually would have a eugenic affect. Of course sometimes the kid shoots a friend, the best strategy is to make sure there are even more guns in the houses of stupid people to increase the odds that kid will be shot to death before he can involve a non-relative.

A female abuser with any intelligence would use the police to torture the man since that option is easily available to her, so any male victims would be in jail. Certainly no man is going to "escape" with a mother's children! Meanwhile women are getting government services so they don't have to experience the "trauma" of separating from pets

Conservatives are hypocrites, though that's almost unfair because they barely make a show of believing in anything, but the left are true believers in "objectification theory", and would make even sexy advertisements a criminal offense. Only thing stopping them from going full Sharia is that they don't believe in restrictions on women, and it's going to take quite a restructuring to make men the frigid sex, apparently they're hoping that most will turn gay
