Yes, it's a good thing to remember.. There are those who have different ways of living that we have common voting interests with. Just because they don't fall into the conservative bucket doesn't mean that they have different 2nd amendment interests.


I will say that OCT offered to "protect" a LGBT events. I think that's too much of a culture clash to be a good idea, ignoring the general sanity of the OCT in general...

It automatically creates a black market with rampant smuggling, etc. heck the previous assault weapon ban in the 1990's didn't work either. But it makes criminals out of millions of citizens. The government would have your friends and neighbors turning you in too.

I don't think I agree with this. Any "assault" weapons ban would ban them going forward. Not retroactively. Do I have that wrong historically?
Basically guns get divided up into pre-ban and post-ban. All the pre-ban guns in our collections would see massive appreciation. Yea, you couldn't buy a new AR lower going forward, but the existing lowers become substantially move valuable.

Prohibition was different, especially since you could make booze in your backyard or bathtub.
