@GMcGuireVA You are completely wrong in your assessment that we “want criminals like domestic abusers to obtain firearms easier”. But, we SHOULD be throwing agents of the state (whether they be police officers or the politicians that control them) in prison for violating people’s rights.

[Kostas Moros @MorosKostas]

California's Glock ban was inspired by a shooting done by a violent felon, Smiley Martin, who was released from prison several years early thanks to Democrat policies.

His crime?

Domestic violence. Specifically, he beat his girlfriend's face into a bloody pulp.

Martin was sentenced to ten years for that. Newsom let him out in just four.

Democrats let a rabid animal loose, then used his predictable subsequent violent crimes as an excuse to ban the sale of Glocks.

So I believe Mr. McGuire is projecting here. Just because HIS political party regularly does favors for violent criminals, he assumes that's who Second Amendment groups are fighting for.

Not so. Criminals and domestic abusers were not why this law was struck down. If he read the court's ruling instead of grandstanding, he'd know that.

@AnomalousMatLab @gunpolicy That law doesn’t go into effect until next year. May 31 2027.

@Planet_Sardinia lol you mean two of the three smallest states in the Union? Congrats I guess.

[(((Ezra Sitt))) @BlowbackBuff]

@tactmedic52 Btw a large reason for this was the myriad of anti gun lawsuits against video game companies like Activision in the early 2010s, lawsuits which tried to blame them for mass shootings like Sandy Hook.

@MorosKostas @MrShermichael I just want to let you know how jealous those of us in east coast ban states like NY envy California over your many AWB loopholes and especially the Freedom Week mags.

Californians sometimes act like you have it the worst when it comes to gun laws. But at least you have those.

@DonGordon2k @MemesToSave Which is why the real answer is to wait until 2008 to buy a foreclosure for like 62 cents.

@M__M582 @JustifiedBecuz @junebug_online @congratsjalen Russell Wilson is 5’11” and people always talked about him like he’s the QB equivalent of Muggsy Bogues.

@cappruductions @Virg_nyfl @KNlCKER Do those first two Mike Woodson seasons not count? Linsanity happened in his first season and they broke a streak of 13 years without a playoff series win in the second.

@HolyGrailVictor @potatoslav Except we have those too. Alaska, Washington and parts of Appalachia have temperate rainforests, Hawaii and Puerto Rico have tropical ones.

@achillghost @potatoslav @meangrade To those of us in NYC, NJ or on Long Island, anything north of the Bronx is “upstate”.

@MorosKostas If Mamdani “got it” he would make it so NYPD doesn’t take 6-8 months to approve carry permits and over a month to process individual handgun purchases.

[Kostas Moros @MorosKostas]

You leaked my home address, and that of hundreds of thousands of others with CCW permits.

It wasn't even a "leak," as there was a download button on the website you published (that website never came back, btw).

Then you investigated yourself and found you did nothing wrong.

@LPNational Too bad the LP is a “lesser evil” too.

The “Classical Liberal” wing of the party are all statists, except for the fact that they don’t believe in borders (and many of them are actually just leftists) and the Paleolibertarians that make up the Mises Caucus are retarded.

@HoelkerSteven @Name54939 @JimConforti @Mike_McD5511 Really, the R stands for “rifle”? Someone better tell that to the AR-9 and AR-17 shotguns.

Mass shootings.

If mass shootings stopped or became much more rare, the antigun movement would wither away. They are totally reliant on those attacks to try and bottle some mass hysteria to pass draconian gun laws, and it's the only time the general public (temporarily) pays attention to orgs like Everytown or Giffords.

Most people intuitively understand that "routine" gun-related crime is, aside from tragic incidents of people being caught in crossfire, avoidable. If you aren't involved in gangs or drugs, and don't go to stupid places at stupid times, then generally, gun-related crime won't affect you, and you are as safe here as you are in any other first world country.

Similarly, people know they can avoid tragedies like a child getting ahold of a gun and shooting himself or another by responsibly storing firearms.

But mass shootings can reach you anywhere even if you are doing nothing irresponsible or criminal, and that understandably scares people. It doesn't really matter that such shootings are statistically super rare, and some years lightning kills more than mass shootings do. In the same way terrorist attacks have an outsize effect on public policy relative to their bodycount, mass shootings are the gun ban movement's gasoline.

This is why they push very hard to make the public believe mass shootings are much more common than they are through nonsense like the Gun Violence Archive's expansive definition (their data mostly reflects large gang-related shootings).

It's also why they are so very angry when an armed citizen stops or cuts short a mass shooting - as that citizen just cost them their main PR opportunity! No surprise then that they do everything possible to make sure an armed citizen isn't there to stop shootings, by supporting laws that make getting carry permits more difficult, and laws that ban carry in as many places as possible.

We should try to stop mass shootings because it's the right thing to do, nobody should ever be killed because of some deranged loser nutjob trying to murder random innocents. But in stopping or reducing them, we'd also defeat the main engine of authoritarian gun control.
