@CynicalPublius Not unfamiliar with this myself. Lost my mother in law a few months after my wife and I were married 26yrs ago. She was only 50... Since then my step mother in law, father in law, and my Dad. All to cancer.
The promise of salvation is alive in us. Praying for you and yours!
@ShawnRyan762@ShawnRyanShow That's tremendous! I'm tickled your voice isn't being muted because people benefit from hearing it...
If you've got any sway with the YouTube folks, maybe ask them to reinstate the @2A4IA channel. They got nuked for "selling guns" but only sold raffle tickets for a fundraiser.
@firearmvideos That's pretty easy with a cheap thin steel safe... Done it plenty on those stack-on junk safes. But that safe doesn't qualify as cheap or thin metal. Those are really heavy.
You've got to eat your Wheaties to accomplish that!

Though the fight isn't over, the elimination of the NFA suppressor tax is a big deal!
ASA President Knox Williams tells @palmettoarmory's Camryn DeGorter: “Part of our political calculus was always ‘If we cannot fully remove them we want make sure that we get that tax down to $0’ because we believe that sets up a constitutional argument…without that tax that is no longer constitutional.”
You reduce my ability to defend myself against criminals who do not follow your laws.
Magazine limits do not affect violent criminals. They affect lawful citizens who comply. Every major study and DOJ review of the 1994 ban concluded there was no measurable reduction in violent crime tied to magazine limits.
Self defense is not theoretical. It happens under stress, at night, often against more than 1 attacker. Capacity matters when shots miss, when attackers do not stop, and when reloads fail under pressure. Reducing capacity increases risk to the defender, not the criminal.
2nd point, Power balance.
The Second Amendment is a restraint on government power. It is for the people, not the state.
If the government argues that fewer rounds are sufficient for safety, then that logic must apply equally. Police and government agents do not face fewer threats than citizens. In many cases citizens face more, with less backup and longer response times.
If the people are limited to 10 rounds, then the government must accept the same limitation. Anything else admits the real argument is control, not safety.
3rd point, The premise is flawed.
A magazine is not a weapon. It is a component. Limiting a number does not change intent, morality, or criminal behavior. It only handicaps lawful defense.
Rights do not shrink because technology improves or because fear is marketed well. The Constitution does not require citizens to be equally armed with criminals. It requires they not be disarmed by their own government.
That is not extremism. That is the plain meaning of a right.

@ShawnRyanShow Shawn and crew, I've been building custom guns for nearly 20 years and had an FFL for most of that time. "I don't have an ID," followed by a dealer replying, "No problem," has never been uttered, ever. EVER.
