Anti-gun laws are a form of liberal virtue-signaling. They’re meant to show politicians are tough on guns without really doing anything about the criminal misuse of guns.
They provide a false sense of security without really affecting the crime rate at all.
But liberal politicians can say they did something to stop dangerous guns.
“Anti-gun laws are a form of liberal virtue-signaling.”
That’s not their primary intent. These are actually political targeting laws. The left is in control in these states and when they run into opposition, either from the grass roots, a politician or in business, they pull out one of these laws to go after their opponent. That helps to entrench the law by associating it with a “bad” person, and it further undermines and distorts the “bad” person’s political speech. So if a 2A supporter speaks out (or Biblical Christian, conservative), they might have some guns and illegal magazines at home?
We need to make an “example” of this person, so we “ throw the book at them”. This is straight up government tyranny at its worst. Selective enforcement against political opponents. Sadly, that is the new foundation of our judicial system. It needs to be resisted by jury nullification.
