Today I learned totalitarianism is moderate.[
I have the right to own property and the state does not need to know what that property is especially when I have a protected right to own that property
We already have laws that address all the things you are afraid of.
What we do not have is the intestinal fortitude to strictly enforce those laws.
Every time a person is caught illegally carrying a weapon he is committing a federal crime.
Every time a person uses a firearm unlawfully he is committing a federal crime.
We do not prosecute these gun crimes as federal crimes and in fact gun charges are some of the first to be bartered away in plea deals.
When the city of Richmond VA took it upon themselves to actually prosecute gun crimes as federal crimes and the federal courts actually handed out long stints in federal prison guess what happened.
Gun crime and murder rates dropped precipitously
The laws you want are nothing but administrative and record keeping requirements which will do a whole lot of nothing to actually get criminals off the streets
The LAST thing the left wants is to get criminals off the street. Gun control is meant to make the public defenseless and dependant on the rulers for protection from the criminal caste that the rulers support and promote.
For thousands of years, the nobility offered supposed protection to the peasants in exchange for voluntary slavery by the peasants. The goal of the democrats is to return to that arrangement. An armed man who can defend himself and his family will not bow and submit to rulers - the democrats are determined to put and end to these free men.
So you are speaking for everyone else. Wow, that tells me loads. Are you telling me that I am a Leftie? Are you telling me that I want to release all criminals from Prisons? Are you going to use the extra space to house Illegals and DACA people?
My goal is to be that loan voice in the forest that speaks with common sense. And you can hear me. Us Moderates are starting speak out. That should scare the living crap out of you.
