Applied to the first amendment, that'd be: "Case in point: Voters in Washington passed Initiative 1639, or I-1639 as it’s more popularly known, in November, a ballot issue that calls for strict new first amendment measures including “enhanced background checks,” a 10-day waiting period before speaking or writing, proof of PC training within the past five years (or you can’t speak or write), and “fact check” of speech or writing, whatever that means."
it won’t fail- the4 object of gun control isn’t mass disarmament, it is to get laws on the books to give police the power to arrest canyon they find ‘harboring an illegal weapon’ when called to residences for any offenses- especially for ‘red flag’ calls-
The goal of the left is to enable criminals the ability to attack civilians who are unable to defend the4mselve, and to make law abiding citizens criminals
Democrats hate freedom, and democrats hate armed civilians who exercise their freedom
Get organized. They did at Concord.

There are as many of those as there are Unicorns, Dragons and Patriotic Democrat Politicians.
Strange. I just opened my link to Biden saying why we don’t enforce gun laws because they don’t have the time.
I got an “access denied” warning.
Ignore the unconstitutional laws and be bankrupted by legal fees defending yourself. Will NRA, GOA, etc. help you pay?
“Why gun control will FAIL: People will simply refuse to obey unconstitutional laws (thank Dems)”
We’ll see. Something tells me the Democrats will not simply shrug their shoulders and say “oh well” when people ignore their latest gun laws.
...and keep in mind their strategy - they don’t need total compliance, initially, all they need is to gradually make gun ownership more of a hassle, a risk, and/or more costly. And, as the number of gun owners drop, their political power drops with it. And when the time is right, they can turn the screws and start calling in the weapons. Sure, many won’t comply, but EVERYONE will look at their guns differently. No longer will they be simply instruments of self-defense. Instead they will become high-risk items to have a around, like having controlled high explosives without a valid reason. That will really kick-in as they see people just like them going on trial, and then being sent away for years, for doing something that used to be legal, such as owning an AR, or maybe even a revolver (at a minimum it will have to be registered) - people who were upstanding members of society in every other way, but only wanted to still be able to protect their families.
So, no more trips to the range, no more talking about the guns you own (as anyone you know could turn you in), very limited talking about gun rights (since that can also raise suspicions) and very, very, careful thought about using the firearm for self-defense (i.e., if it’s not your own life or family’s live at risk, you could easily end up with more jail time than the bad guy...since you’re now considered even more of a ‘bad guy’).
And then, after that, the VERY TEMPTING buybacks. That AR is now worth either $1500 at the buyback, or 5 years, if caught with it. So yes, there will be holdouts, maybe 10% of owners. But they’ll be easy to pick off - new laws will allow K-9 searches based on anonymous tips, and the already 5 year sentence will become 10 years, maybe even 20. Sure, none of this is Constitutional, but then we’re not the legal judges of that, they are.
And then it’s over. Sure, crime will be through the roof, particularly gun crime, but that simply justifies even harsher laws. Never any thought of restoring gun rights, since, after all, once disarmed, the last thing that people will want is for it to get easier for ‘those people’ to get even more guns.
they enforce the laws they want too and we obey the laws we want too
