How exactly are democrats doing this? Do you think only those who vote republican are buying firearms right now? The fact that so many try to turn everything into politics is absolutely what’s destroying this country. Meanwhile the middle class is evaporating and the world is creating more billionaires and more have nots.
So many people are being robbed right in front of their eyes. I don’t think the violence stops anytime soon. You have a group of people who are unaffected by any of the economical conditions right now because of various reasons... wealth, ability to work Remote, etc... then you have a group who is losing their jobs and left with nothing. Government is supplementing the big business who already have employees who are “unaffected” and you just have these two different worlds that will inevitably collide.
I don’t think anything gets better despite who gets elected and I think even if Trump is re-elected that gun rights are in danger.
Ok, I have to to reply to a couple of your points here.
Yes, the middle class is disappearing. This is a GOOD thing. And no, we don't have more "have nots". The truth is that we have less people below middle class, less middle class and more high income earners than we did 50 years ago. And this is in adjusted dollars, not just raw numbers. People have more opportunities and are taking advantage of that and they are moving up. We will always have the "have nots", for reasons I don't really need to expound on right now, as it's not the topic of this thread.
As to the people who are losing their jobs and being left with nothing, that is a direct result of the government nanny state, interfering with businesses and proclaiming that the government is a better judge of what risks the people should take, rather than letting people decide for themselves what risk level they are willing to tolerate. I feel bad for people who have suffered under these government restrictions, I really do, and I think the government went way too far with their containment measures.
Which kind of leads to the original topic. The last response we should have to overzealous government control is MORE government control. Setting aside Biden's desire for a national mask mandate to further damage the economy, his wish list of Second Amendment infringements would turn me into a felon or a corpse. I will not comply with a registration scheme, and I will not allow the government to "buy back" that which they never owned in the first place. I will actively resist any effort that attempts to force me to do either. They will have to put me in prison or put me down. I will not comply, and that leaves it up to the government to determine how to react to that.
That's how strongly I feel about my Second Amendment right. It is the only right that truly protects all my other rights. It was not granted to me by the government, but by my very existence as a human. And I'll be damned if I'm going to let it be taken away by a government.
