Our elected officials are breathtakingly stupid so often.

I love the hypocrisy in this.

The same people screaming that a sanctuary for illegals is a legal and valid thing, are screaming at sanctuary's for gun owners that they are not legal and not valid.

I love how they say "loophole" as if it is a bad thing. What they mean is that they are disappointed that people are following the law, like good law abiding citizens are expected to do.

Some of the comments in that article are pretty good. One that really stood out for me as quite insightful, was this:

Why would something that's completely legal and "above board" require "undercover visits"? Or does the local media frame these visits in this way in service to a narrative suggesting that this isn't legal or above board?

And this comment was amusing:

No idea why anyone needs a high capacity magazine loader. Must be for the childish delight people get from bubbleguming with The Man. Moronic to the max. Have fun kids.

USMC-03's rule of life #23:

There is no more creative person in this world than an American trying to circumvent an unjust and unreasonably restrictive system.

Very good axiom, @USMC-03. Most assuredly correct.

And I, for the life of me, simply do not understand why any of us put up with this unmitigated crap. We are supposed to be a free people, with free spirits, and unbounded optimism. These offenses to common sense and dignity are untenable.

The profound thing is we are now passing laws that are being ignored and that's not good. In the minds of those passing the laws, they're following the laws. In the minds of those legislated against they're following the laws.

Maybe we're both to blame for believing it all but it is a massive disconnect and when people feel laws are advisory for whatever reason, good or bad, it's a dark step that's been taken

One of the primary harms alcohol prohibition caused, was contempt for the rule of law. This is true of all prohibitions.
