You should learn more:
Some people's definition of "it will never happen" is that it hasn't happened so far in their lifetime. These people are seemingly also willfully ignorant of nearly all world history relevant to such an ignorant viewpoint.
Cheers to you as well. If I make it down to Bend anytime soon, I'll shoot you a PM. Not sure if you fish at all, but I plan on heading that way for some lake fishing as well as hitting the Deschutes. I've never fished that far up river before. May as well try and hit a range while I'm there too.
except that gun control (actually prohibition...) has nothing to do with C19 and any potential vaccine mandates.
Right, but that's him just saying something. If you asked him what an assault rifle was, he wouldn't even be able to answer the question. Then if he actually tried to do something, it would be challenged in the Supreme Court and lose miserably. I understand your concerns.
Tell me more about how states currently infringe on American's right to keep and bear arms.
A lot of your comments in this thread Ive agreed with, but not this one. Bidens lack of knowledge on guns is notwithstanding his efforts to prohibit them from lawful citizens nor the gun control movements efforts. Note the high court has intentionally avoided ruling on many gun cases, plenty of states prohibit AR15s and common use gun magazines etc and the courts arent doing anything to overturn that. Didnt Biden just ban imported ammo?
Dude this is sadly FAR from small. In WA state you can not buy a Ruger 10/22 unless you jump through the hoops to own an "assault weapon". Gun owners here voted this law in. Sporting systems spent a LOT of time and cash to get it back on the ballot again. So few gun owners cared they could not get the signatures to even put it back on the ballot. This means the vast majority of gun owners here were fine with this law. Now every time I bring this up I hear a lot of excuses for why. Excuses are like a body part we all have and mean nothing to me. This is gun owners getting what they asked for. I have for years heard some of the guys in CA who are trying to stop what goes on there lament this. There are MILLIONS of legal gun owners there. The guys have said if they could get just a couple million of them to vote as a block they could make real change. They can't. This is FAR from a small group who are determined to lose their rights. Its like some kind of mental disorder.
And by declining to vote and "not making a choice" they have in fact MADE A CHOICE. An enemy unresisted is an enemy you might as well have surrendered to.Dude this is sadly FAR from small.

Elections do have consequences. Gun owners can look in the mirror for why we have this mess, they by a LARGE percentage vote for it, then scream.
problem is a LOT of gun owners are liberal. Maybe even more now than adamant pro gun owners... I dunno but were constantly losing our rights.
I know a Biden voter gun owner who swears to me he believes we should have the "right" to own an AR15 but thinks they should be registered and we should have to pass an eval to get one (ie, not a right....) while swearing thats supporting the right to bear arms and is perfectly fine with magazine capacity limits... common sense you know
Lost of gun owners like this.
I missed the school-wide polio shot in 1954. I had no vax until forced to for 1964 enrolling in college, smallpox. It about killed me, deathly ill for 3 days. Survived. No vax until shingles shots couple years ago. Oddly enough, no primary school missed due to illness from 1953 to 1963. Only a couple 'mild flu' days until retirement. Lucky? Perhaps. And despite considerable unresolved concerns, yes I got the current vax months ago. Personal choice matter IMHO.
I dont live in an echo chamber and enjoy a wide diversity of friends. hes not a friend like an enemy we just disagree, in fact listening to the best anti gun or "common sense" arguments is one of the main reasons Im more pro gun than ever.
I actually DID get the measles in 1952-53. 3 different variations of it, counting chicken pox as one. Survived them all with only home care. I believe it actually improved my immune system.
He was unfit for office the day he went from his high-school football field where he was QB straight to the Draft Office and lied his worthless craplocker into an "asthma" deferment.
