This will kill the democrat party if it passes.

I hope it doesn't pass (and I doubt seriously that it will), but I also hope it kills the Democrat party. They have needed to die for a long, long time. Then all we have to do is kill the Republican party, and we can start with a clean slate and elect politicians who understand what voters are.

No argument out of me, for either party. I was just stating the likely outcome. They are like vandals, so focused on stealing the railroad spikes out of the cross-ties that they can't see the freight train bearing down on them. The idiots.

From your link:

A recent Gallup poll puts opposition to a legal ban on handguns at an all-time record of 74%.

Despite pundits warning the Democrat Party that it is “political suicide,” the gun control legislation put forth by Senator Diane Feinstein will apparently move forward.

She's crazy. The democrat party is crazy. It's members are crazy for belonging to it.

Take from that whatever you will.

You'd have to be stupid not to realize this if you were a cop, and I trust that most LEOs are smarter than that, even if they weren't Oath Keepers. Fortunately, at least since I've moved here to Texas, every single LEO I've ever spoken to about the 2nd Amendment has boldly and forthrightly stated, "It's your right." No obfuscation. No prevaricating. No excuses. And no misgivings.

I can't speak for other states, but my distinct impression is that, at least in smaller towns and rural areas, such an order would be disobeyed on principle, if not on suicide avoidance.

Big deal. MRAPs can't venture off highway very far because they easily get stuck in mud:

Sooner or later, they have to climb out of those beasts, and then they're on no better than even ground with an insurgency......excuse me.....I meant "citizenry in compliance"......
