[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assault weapons ban already failed and was withdrawn.  Even before that, grandfathering was added to the bill.

Here’s what’s going to happen — feel free to bump this in 6 months.

We are getting background checks, red flag laws, 1-handgun-a-month, and possibly some other restrictions.  None of these will do anything to reduce gun violence, of course.  But there will be no assault weapons ban or seizures of property (other than red flag).  This is going to seriously derail the rest of the Dem agenda, and it’s going to tie up the courts for awhile.  Afterwards, look for a re-reddening of a lot these districts.  This gun control crusade will ultimately be very, very good for Republicans and possibly even for Trump in 2020.[/quote]

Last paragraph nails it.

This was a giant overreach by Governor Blackface, and dems are going to lose seats over this. Possibly even their majorities. 2020 and 2021 are going to be payback years for VA gun owners who were lackadaisical about voting. When 95% of your state declares itself a second amendment sanctuary in just a few weeks, that doesn't bode well for the reelection of many dems in those places.

People learned a lasting lesson here. Not just people in Virginia, but all over the country. They learned that when dems get power, the very first they do is start a gun grab. Before they did anything help poor people, to protect the environment, to build a better economy, or anything else to address the real everyday needs of Virginians, they set about taking guns away from people who weren't criminals.

That's dems. That's what they do.

Their number one priority is taking guns away from people who aren't criminals. [/quote]
