I just can't fathom what in hell the strategy is here to keep pushing ahead by this scum and his masters.
The shots that were meant to target conservatives in the SPARS 2025-2028 war game have instead been damn near exclusively embraced by leftists.
The military purged conservatives out of the ranks and have since done their best to spark a hot war, annihilating the woke remnant.
Conservatives have the majority of the guns and preps for upcoming indefinite shortages, so the rioting and death waves in leftist shithole cities should not affect them as much.

This seems completely bass ackwards from a strategic or tactical point of view.
Maybe it's just me.

Plagiarizing myself from another thread, this is what the Judiciary Committee Democrats are up to:

Here's a link to the hearing, which will occur on June 2nd, and the text of the bill:


It's only 41 pages, shockingly short for a bill, but they crammed a lot of infringements into it. I didn't have time to read it over carefully, here's what I noticed:
  • Severely restricts gun rights for those under 21 except law enforcement and military on active duty (reserve component has to buy them during AT I guess).
  • "Ghost guns" have to be engraved by a licensed manufacturer or importer within 30 days. Irrespective of when it was made, it's illegal to possess a ghost gun 30 days after the bill comes into force.
  • The definition of "frame or receiver" is expanded, looks like it includes uppers now.
  • It's illegal to sell or transfer a machine whose primary purpose is to manufacture firearms to anyone other than a licensed manufacturer; you know the ATF is going to have fun determining which machines have a "primary purpose" to manufacture firearms.
  • Any firearm with a slide, cylinder, frame, or receiver that does not generate a sufficient magnetic field is an "undetectable firearm" and verboten.
  • If you have kids or live with prohibited persons, your gun has to be in a "secure storage device," which I assume will be defined by the ATF as something insane like a TRTL-30x6 safe. If you don't do this and your 17-year-old shoots himself, you go to prison for five years.
  • It appropriates $10M/year for ten years for "safe storage" grants. 75% goes to cities and tribes, 25% goes to nonprofits. Also a $400 tax credit for buying a gun safe. (A $400 safe might keep out a toddler but that's it.) These are only available for safes and devices "designed and marketed" for guns, meaning most of it will be spent on overpriced Chinese sheet metal boxes with drywall and little shoebox-sized lock boxes.
  • It adds bump stocks to the NFA. It defines bump stock broadly.
  • Large capacity feeding devices, meaning any magazine with more than 10 rounds (i.e. most magazines in existence) cannot be imported, sold, manufactured, or possessed unless grandfathered in. It authorizes a buyback for these magazines. Any large capacity magazine manufactured after the act must have a serial number; only police, retired police, and military get these.

There's also something about straw purchases. I can't tell what's changed, but the fact that they changed something means they changed it for the worse.
