Simply, attacking 2A is paramount to civil war. Taking 2A is the game changer and the dominoes fall.
Dems could be confiscating guns in blue states right now. Are they? Not really. Both parties want gun control on the table to GOTV. It’s tactically better for the Dems to wait on national gun control. They have no need to wake up the sleeping suburbs in TX, GA and FL until they are firmly under Dem control.
Either way it is dead
And still the Democrats I know insist that Democrats do not want to take ,your guns!
Agreed. I recall a lot of folks on this DB wanting the filibuster to end when the GOP was in control and were flipping out on me when I was suggesting that was not a great idea.
Anyway, in a few weeks I don’t see this rule being part of the Senate.
Felons all.
Actually, yes, they are confiscating guns on a regular basis in California and New York, and New Jersey, Hawaii, to name a few.
They are doing it piecemeal, as expected.
There will not be mass house to house confiscation. It will be done digitally.
That is why they want and need mandatory registration. They have to prove you have it to make you turn it in with a digital state.
“That is why they want and need mandatory registration. They have to prove you have it to make you turn it in with a digital state.”
Yes. 100%. That’s why it is very important now to swap lots of guns between family and friends, and sell to and buy from complete strangers, all without a background check. While it’s still legal. The goal is to lose traceability, period, without committing a crime. Get 7 layers or more. Tear up previous bills of sale after a year. Forget who you sold to or brought from.
Do it now. Perfectly legal in most states. Definitely legal in FL. Don’t know about NY and CA.
A quick search shows 20 million guns in California. Dems don’t seem to confiscating more than a handful there.
I’m aware of what their tactics will be. The time is not right yet with TX, GA and FL still being battleground states. They’re not going to do something nationally that they haven’t even done is deep blue states. A lot of Democrats like guns, too. They will tread carefully here.
Both the GOP and Dems want the 2A and abortion issues alive to GOTV and fundraise. I’m not going to be played by them.

How did getting rid of the judicial filabuster work out for Democrats?
Democrats might get 60 Senate votes in the future. We’ll never get 60 conservatives. In the long run no filibuster is definitely more beneficial to the GOP.
We will see how far the leftist go with this. They may put in place background checks for purchasers at gun shows and then stop.
They’re not stupid. The leftist know they are better off taking a lil bite, then after a period..another little bite and so on.
Going to far to fast could have the opposite outcome than they realized.
What does the number of guns in a state have to do with whether the politicians are confiscating them or not?
What is your definition of confiscating guns?
Why not? There are more than 30 states mostly controlled by Republicans, now.
We should have 60 Conservative Senators now.
The reason we do not, is the Left's control of the media and cheating the last election.
I tend to think if they had the votes they would have done it by now. IMHO, they are doing it to placate their base, on the issue to to try to show they are doing something.
Don’t worry! John Roberts will save us!!! /s
SADLY....The once great “freedom/liberty” nation of the USA Nation Republic appears to be headed into a devastating second civil war. Americans...pray that Lord God Almighty will save this great nation from Orwell’s “Big Brother” enslavement!!!
This is the hill to sustain a barrage of cheap demagoguery on. Nobody will have to die on it. The political consequences of voting against gun control are non-existent. The political consequences of buckling to the demagoguery barrage are huge.
Gun control has been done to death, and is thoroughly discredited, except in the Washington snow-globe world, where Santa never makes it down the chimney, he’s only just about to.
Expect more mass shootings this week and in the coming weeks. As usual the Domestic enemies will utilize the mentally ill to mass shoot people until public opinion against guns is at a fevered pitch.
