Quoted: So the specific laws/bans/actions that FL state and local governments took in the last few years aren't bans to be concerned about? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Nope, he didn't make that point at all. He only proved he knows nothing about Florida politics. So the specific laws/bans/actions that FL state and local governments took in the last few years aren't bans to be concerned about? Florida local governments aren't allowed to enact their own bans. Over 20 years ago, well before DeSantis, well before the state become reliably red, an amendment was passed to the state constitution that allows local governments to establish a three- to five-day waiting period for the sale of firearms at any place to which the public has access. This would include retail establishments as well as gun shows, gun exhibits and collector's shows. In addition, the amendment allows each county to require a criminal history records check in connection with the sale of any firearm occurring in the county. That is the ONLY thing localities are allowed to do wrt guns and there's nothing the state government can do about it. |

Quoted: Didn't y'all elect two Democratic Senators? Atlanta runs Georgia now. Just like Chicago's been running Illinois for years. If you don't like that, better get your state senate reapportioned to protect rural interests. View Quote do you know how state government works? Cause what you posted has shit all to do with it. Our state government is still very red and Atlanta doesn't run that in the slightest. Trump's stupidity.....or i should say Trump's followers stupidity is why we have two democrat senators. (while in the last election our republican governor kicked the shit out of the left's pick) |

Quoted: Just waiting for MN to drop something soon. They stole the whole shebang. View Quote The good news for us is that 6 of the 7 states that fall under the auspices of the 8th Circuit Court are red states. Our liberal shithole is the only blue one. 17 of the 18 judges that comprise the 8th Circuit are republican nominees. Thanks to Bruen it should be easy here to slap down unconstitutional legislation. |

Quoted: Ahhh, "The adults are in charge" party. I bet people really really regret their vote for Brandon, every fuckin time they get gas. Every time they open up their utility bills. They must feel stupid for voting for Biden, thinking things would be better. ETA: I do wonder if these debates will be different now that someone purchased their Psyop machine (twitter). View Quote You still think that 81 million people ACTUALLY voted for him? Ballot harvesting and stuffing ballet drop boxes with duplicate ballots doesn't add up to 81 million.. Democrats care about ballots, Republicans care about votes. They are in the sams.club so it really doesn't matter... |

We’ll have two types of states, guns and limited abortion and no guns, free abortions.

It goes beyond guns. The same states are trying to ban internal combustion automobiles and gas appliances and heaters. The ban knob has been cranked way up lately.
This is the "You will own nothing and like it" nonsense playing out. Attached File |

Wait I thought we were all "states rights" here? Or are states rights only for when the state government bans something we don't personally like?

They don’t rest and they don’t quit. Much like the gay/pedo/tranny stuff…..they push from every side at all times. Guns are equally, if not more, important to dems. Sorry dudes, but I don’t see a way out other than a legit civil war. These dems don’t represent, they rule….they need to hang.

Like this part; It didn’t help that a supposed “originalist,” the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, took it on himself to volunteer in the Heller case that the Second Amendment] "is no limitation upon arms control by the states," and then to imply banning weapons such as "M-16 rifles and the like" would not be an infringement. Otherwise, he asserted, "it would mean that the National Firearms Act's restrictions on machineguns ... might be unconstitutional, machineguns being useful in warfare in 1939." Bingo! What the hell else would it be? That’s not at all what Heller said. To make that statement means this “Author” never actually read the ruling & is parroting liberal BS handpicked out of context like they love to do. Also, why is WI light green? What does that even mean? We have no restrictions on Semi or Full Auto (outside of NFA BS) & that is not about to change anytime soon. |

Where are rthe pics of the Illinois gun owners protesting in ther capital?
I remember after Sandy Hook and the ban talk started and a couple thousand of us were at Columbus, Oh and other state capitals. Its really a shame too after visiting family in rural Ill but again even the best conservative in Ill is a little left to me. Maybe its in the water... |

Quoted: Yeah, Florida too. The writer of this article isn't the brightest bulb in the pack. View Quote Florida has some statutes that are worse than you'd expect to find here and constitutional carry has been getting stonewalled for years by Republicans in the state legislature. Rick Scott signed a gun control bill right before he stepped into his senate seat, we're steadily developing the same "lots of sparse red counties overruled by blue cities" problem as everywhere else, and I'm a little concerned about succession once DeSantis either runs for president or terms out. Making a little more sense yet? |

Quoted: Wait I thought we were all "states rights" here? Or are states rights only for when the state government bans something we don't personally like? View Quote State's rights don't apply to apply to what is in the Constitution. Drugs, traffic laws, abortion are not in the Constitution, that goes to the states. Guns are in the Constitution, not a state power. But I'm not a lawyer. |

Quoted: 10 Years ago all these People in these states that are pro gun told every one from NY and NJ to just move.. Your looking at a ban in all 50 states in the next 5 years on a fed Law....State by State is Falling to the Communist Democrats,Arizona,New Mexico,Colorado where all Big Republican states now are Democrat.. When will the Republicans understand that the American people voted for chaos and want Chaos!!! They Voted for a sitting US Senator from CT who went to a communist party and received award..they voted for a man who had a stroke and cant speak in PA...The Republican Party is a dead or dying Party... View Quote It’s called the 19th amendment and psychological operations on the emotionally vulnerable demographic high backed up by proxy voting (pensions, etfs, mutual funds and custodians) coercing boards and C suites and, lastly, the education industrial complex. Notes on Democracy Mencken There is exactly zero chance the ballot box can restore the Constitution because the original voting and electoral system was subverted LONG ago. |

Va will have the Va Safe Act as soon as the Democrats retake the state after Youngkin. Remember kids, the Democrats that voted against Va's AWB didn't do so because they were against it, only because they weren't sure how to implement it.
I was one of those assholes that was all Muh near Super Majority in the House hurr durr. Then Trump got elected and the Va Democrats went fucking insane and came out to vote. Also didn't help that the GOP drew shitty maps that got struck down by a liberal judge that then assigned a liberal college professor to redraw the maps, surprising leading to liberal favored maps. Redistricting heavily favored the Democrats this time around. Va is true and properly fucked after Youngkin. Maybe even with if a big enough shooting happens since Youngkin seems to think he can be president. Hell if I am remembering right, the Va Constitution is stronger on the 2A than the fed level, but democrats don't give a shit. |

Quoted: As the next few years go by more and more states will pass AWBs. A number of states just banned standard capacity mags. RI, DE, WA and OR. I might be missing some. View Quote |

It may be great now compared to Colorado and some other states but it doesn't deserve to be in the same dark green status as other states on that map. |

I don't think guns are really at risk here in AZ. It's kind of a third rail here to fuck with guns. The independents outnumber democrats here and there are pro 2a. AZ wasn't always a top gun freedom state. We built the culture here over decades. Only democrats in the absolute safest districts will even mention anti gun stuff
