    Nobody, and I mean nobody gives a shit about your guns.

    Yes, yes they do. It’s constantly a hot topic, several States have created registries for ownership, FOID cards to track who’s buying what, and some politicians even want to serialize everything. On top of what they’ve already banned.

    They’re robbing plenty of people, agreed, and doing so incrementally so it’s not really perceived. I get that.

    But then yes, you threaten many who believe “it’s a God-given right to own a firearm” and speak about it going away, people would start to take action.

        Since 2001? Why that date? I also never said it happened yet, only that they’re slowly trying to. I think you should work on your reading and comprehension skills.

        Currently, there are numerous lawsuits of various 2A rights groups suing state and gov bodies over these laws that infringe upon Americans’ rights. It’s a game of rush a policy to block/ban, lose in court eventually, repeat. They don’t care, and ironically any criminals don’t care either, they do what they want despite laws, so it really doesn’t help law abiding citizens either.

          You already lost to much liberty since 2001, 2FA did nothing to even slow it down.

          I’m accusing you of lying to yourself about guns, and missing the forest for the trees.

          After a couple more years, you won’t have anything else to hold on to.

              You keep talking about guns as if they mattered, when they clearly do not do anything.

              Nothing at all.

              It gives you a false sense of hope, which is even worse.

              No benefit to them.

                You either live outside the US, or in CA where they’re so foreign to you, you cannot understand the concept that people have different interests than you. I didn’t “keep talkng” about them. I just said you can’t take them away without an uprising.

                It’s a hot political topic, and while it’s always brought up, it’s more often than not, used as a distraction.

                You’re a troll, I get it, why else would you keep coming back to the comments days later trying to pick some imaginary argument when I wasn’t even taking to you in the first place.

                  I’m not a troll, you’re deluded into focusing on guns while they took everything else away.
