Excerpt of the opening of the article:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump, darling of the National Rifle Association, has custody of the Oval Office. The Republican-controlled Congress already has ditched one Obama-era rule to tighten access to guns. And an emboldened NRA has much more ambitious plans afoot for easing state and national gun laws as its annual convention unfolds this weekend in Atlanta.
But gun control advocates do not want your pity, thank you very much.
The groups that stand in opposition to looser gun laws say they are ready to rumble, as the NRA enjoys a post-election payoff moment Friday when Trump becomes the first president to appear at its convention since Ronald Reagan in 1983.
This is a subset of the argument about illiberal “liberals” who will gladly enlist the coercion of the state to protect you from yourself whether or not that was needed.
Let's start with repealing the machine gun ban of 1986, and 1934's NFA. I'd like to see The Gun Control Act of 1968 go away as well but I know that's pretty tough sell. Maybe we can weaken it though.
We've got the power. We need to act. Now.
