As the passage of unconstitutional rights restriction legislation increases incrementally and the country fully wakes up to where this is going, I expect to see noncompliance with such laws increase incrementally as well. Sheriffs in several states have already made major moves in this direction. Pressure between the two trends will build until .....what?thatguyoverthere wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 10:20 pm I mean, yes, I understand that the radicals simply want full disarmament of private citizens. Simple as that. A few will openly state that as the ultimate goal, while most others who desire that end are smart enough to not state it openly, but work towards that goal nonetheless.
Of course, they know they can't get there directly, so their solution seems to be incrementalism (and has been for a long time). So I guess my question is in regards to what else they can come up with between where we currently are and their ultimate goal of total disarmament.
What I see right now, in addition to all the requirements already in place, some of the more trendy steps they're currently pursuing include:
1. Prohibition of sales (and possession) of "assault weapons" (or even any semiauto weapon)
2. Background checks for ALL transactions including friends and family
3. Red flag laws
4. Change domestic violence laws to include dating partners
5. Magazine round limits
6. Raise minimum age to buy any gun from 18 to 21 (or higher)
7. Require a license to own (not carry-own) any firearm
8. Require locked storage of ANY firearm in your home
Obviously these measures aren't going to stop so called "gun violence." But a little thing like a bunch of new "preventative" measures not working certainly isn't going to slow the march of the progressives toward the "bigger, better, more effective" new laws yet to come.
So I'm just wondering: what IS next, after these? It's just difficult for me to even imagine what other ideas they could possibly come up with in the incessant march of incrementalism on the way to the ultimate goal of disarmament.
So what is next? Mandatory psychological exams for gun possession? Requiring some kind of special clothing or marking visible from 50 feet away indicating to the public that you own a firearm? Requiring all firearms be stored at police stations?
Seriously, what other proposed restrictions are we liable to face in the coming years?
Unless something big changes for the better, no, this will not end well.
