Say, Why Doesn’t Support For Gun Grabbing Laws Translate To Gun Grabbing

OK, perhaps the headlines is not quite fair in terms of where this Washington Post article goes, but, gun grabbing is always relevant

Why doesn’t support for gun-control laws translate to gun-control laws?

Polls routinely show that a majority of Americans support gun-control legislation, such as background checks, gun licensing, assault-weapons bans and red-flag laws. So why hasn’t public opinion filtered up to Washington, which hasn’t passed a major gun-control law in more than 20 years?

On Thursday, Quinnipiac University released a poll that shows that voters strongly support stricter gun laws, and support for some of these proposals is overwhelming. Jim Sciutto of CNN shared the breakdown and asked the question that spurred this post.

Amber Phillips attempts to break down why they don’t get passed

For decades, opponents of this kind of legislation have been better organized.

How dare groups like the NRA use their 1st Amendment Rights to protect the 2nd

People who support gun-control laws also aren’t sure how it affects them. Jim Kessler has studied this issue with the center-left think tank Third Way, and they found that people outside of urban areas who aren’t affected daily by gun violence “would be perfectly fine if [a background check law] passed, but it was more a shrug of the shoulders than a shout to the rafters.”

They also notice that the cities with massive gun grabbing have the worst gun violence.

Anyhow, she offers some other reasons, but, she misses the biggest one: gun owners and gun rights supporters do not trust their opponents in the least. We may agree on doing a few things to attempt to keep firearms out of the hands of bad people, but, we know that those laws will go too far, and, even when they don’t initially, they keep attempting to move the goalpost further and further out. Mission creep. So, there is zero trust. Red Flag laws violate multiple Amendments, especially the 4th, and gun grabbers have made no attempt to protect the rights of citizens. We know they are meant for stealth gun grabbing, and they even tell us this.

Their version of universal background checks do not work without a gun database, which makes confiscation easier. Hey, they’re the ones who have been talking about implementing the “Australian solution”, which is a massive blanket banning of privately owned firearms. Reportedly, only 20% of firearms where turned in in Australia. Because they had no database. Huh.

So, we do not trust the gun grabbers. Pass something, then something else, then more, and keep doing things, just like we see in California, NY, NJ, Chicago, Baltimore, etc.
