regulated [..] (to the point they’re pretty much never used in a crime

Incorrect analysis. They're almost never used in crime because they're difficult to conceal.

Darn I hate these correlations people pull from their rectal cavity.

When they are used in crime it's generally a big crime, and yes criminals can get them if they want them.

The Firearms Fairness Act

Because certain firearms should be illegal to possess for an equivalent time that they were legal to possess.

Or,

The Criminals Workplace Safety Act

For obvious reasons.

Well there are Traditional Rifles, and Modern Rifles.

They came up with cutesy Orwellian language for the Modern Rifles (I’ve been reading things talking about “assault style” rifles...I’m curious what about their styling makes them assault-y), so they’ll ban those first.

Once those are long gone, all rifles will be Traditional Rifles. So then they’ll have to make another arbitrary division. They’ll call every caliber the military adopted after decades of success among private individuals a “military caliber”, banning everything but the fake calibers like .25 and .28 ACP.

On the pistol front, it’ll just be another Magazine Ban. DC has already redefined any pistol as a “machine gun”, so they might be so brazen as to do that as well.

Plenty of names to choose from, but it boils down to a Magazine Ban, and Modern Rifle Ban.

We went through this crap during the Klinton years. Many of us decided at that time that the 2nd Amendment is actually a "tripwire" for liberty. "You can't trust a politician with your vote if he doesn't trust you with a gun." Made a lot of sense then and it does now. "If it is time to bury them, it is time to use them."

To change the subject for a moment consider this, the Porkulus Bill we objected to so much recently. Most of the spending is several years from now. The rate that our economy is failing there won't BE a U.S. gummint by then. So what the hell does that bill matter?

Back on subject. What the hell does a gun law matter? Let them pass whatever damn law they want. Anybody with a brain HAS the things they need. All we have to do is survive the chaos that is coming and rebuild from the ground up with the original government the Founders put in place over 200 years ago. Sort of a "system reset". At this point Zero and Pelousy and COmpany can pound sand because nothing they do is gonna matter a bit.

“We just love to ban stuff, it’s in our genes.”

“We’d ban cigarettes, but we’d lose so much tax money.”

“The ATF need something to do”

“We don’t like them, so you shouldn’t have them.”

If at first you don’t succeed; try, try again. Because, hey; the sheeple have a short attention span.

I’d call it (any “gun control” act, actually) the “DemocRats are Whiny, Bedwetting, Cringing Cowards Act of (19XX|20XX)”
