Reply to comment by ChairmanMatt in We’re Washington Post journalists who spent the past months investigating how the AR-15 became a symbol of the gun control debate, political identity and mass shootings. Ask us anything. by washingtonpost
What legislation has followed those platforms?

A significant amount of state legislation in CA, NY, etc. After the disaster of the post 1994 AWB midterms, Dems have avoided spending political capitol on federal legislation, though they do regularly introduce things like new AWB bills. I think Pelosi has introduced an updated version of the 94 AWB every year since it expired in 2004.

Yeah it's easy to introduce bills when you know they won't pass. Like how Ted Cruz jerks himself off with his term limit bill every few years. He looks good, it doesn't pass, he runs again.
CA has lots of laws and magazine limits and it still happens there.
We need healthcare, including mental, for all. We need before school programs, after school programs, day care, we need to fill the role model vacuum with good people and start from the bottom up. If you raise good kids, they become good adults. If you diagnose mental trauma and illness at a young age, you can save more lives than one

The first thing on the list is literally 1992.
What happened in the 1994 midterm election, and what happened in between?
What happened in 1990 in New Jersey and what happened in the 1992 state elections (and 93 for governor because NJ does gov elections the year after presidential cycle for some reason)
What happens basically only in blue states (lone exception being VT with a R governor but D legislature in 2018)
And various executive orders in between and weaponization of the ATF, etc

It is physically impossible to come for guns. There are 500 million in the US, mostly unregistered.
It would be like prohibition.

So the question is no longer litigation, but enforcement. Nice shift.

And that's the best case scenario, look up Vicki Weaver for something worse.

Dude. I own lots of guns and I'm so far leftist anarchist I barely believe in private property anymore. I own guns because I don't want the only people with guns to be cops, because they're all bastards and 40% of them beat their wives
No one is physically ever gonna take all the guns. You can bury a gun in your yard. Put it in the drywall. The sheer amount of illegal guns in our already wide open system exemplifies this.
They don't even want the guns. They love when chaos reigns in voters. Empty promises and fully loaded wallets.
My only point is every one gets upset when some white kid kills some white kids but there's piles of black bodies in Philly every year and no one gives a fuck. No one in Philly is murdering people with rifles.

you sound exactly like the attorney representing NJ in court in a suit against their additional restrictions on carry a month or two ago.
> the laws shouldn't be overturned because they won't be enforced anyway
so then don't pass the damn laws.
This is all immaterial anyway. Bruen means the days of practically all gun control is numbered.

NJ has super strict gun laws and they didn't save Camden, Newark, or Trenton but people think they're a win because no one cares when people get shot in the projects
