Gun Laws of the Last 60 Years
3 years ago
First off, we don't need any new laws. We have plenty. We have over 60 years of gun laws that would work flawlessly if they were allowed to function.
But see, that's how it works.
Here's what's going to happen:
1. The GOP is going to resist any new laws being made.
2. The Dems will fight like crazy to get new laws made.
3. The public will sit in the stands, watching the catfight in the arena.
4. After sufficient monkey dust has been flung around the arena, both sides will reach a "compromise."
5. A new law will be "agreed" upon. It will look useful! It will look bipartisan! It will be shiny!
And just as has been done for the last 40 years, here's how it will work:
1. It will not get one single penny of funding. Not one. Zilch. Nada. Zip.
2. It will be ((( {{ << EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN >> }} )))) from meshing with any other existing laws or legislation. It will be required to stand completely on it's own. It will be a single law, on a legal island in the middle of a legislative ocean, with nothing for thousands of miles.
As has been done with every gun law for the last fourty years.
Gun registry? All paper. Not one computer.
Background checks? Computerized, but based on software that uses 5.25 inch floppies. And because there's no funding for any of it, there's no money to standardize anything. Each state has their own system from the 90's using MS-DOS, and it doesn't integrate with any federal system, or any other state system.
Your nice, shiny new law will get dumped on the heap, just like every other gun law that has been made in the last 40 years.
(((( {{ << EXCEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >> }} ))))
Except...
...when used as a threat for charging suspects and coercing plea deals.
That's it.
That's the only time any gun law ever gets dragged out of the basement and dusted off. And the victim will always be a PoC.
So yay.
Hooray for your shiny new law. Whooooo. Yay.
Oh, wait, we don't have one yet. But don't worry? We will. Like I said, the politicians have to grind some more victims into enough monkey dust to make for a good show, but they'll deliver.
They always do.
And like the NIMBY No-New-Taxes fools we are, both sides will be happy with the show.
But see, that's how it works.

if these snapped fuckwits are gonna kill people, at least take away the power of them killing a LOT of people you know?
Look back to California, April 5, 1967. The Mulford Act was proposed, specifically, to disarm People of Color, who were conducting armed patrols of Oakland Neighborhoods to protect residents from the police.
On May 2nd, http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/hi.....48667224.html" rel="nofollow ugc noreferrer noopener">20 armed Black Panthers walked into the state capitol while the assembly was in session, and walked up to the podium.
On May 3rd, an "urgency clause" was added to the bill. On June 8th, the urgency clause was adopted. The bill was signed into law on July 28th by Ronald Reagan.
So.
So long as People of Color are being slaughtered, nobody in power gives a shit. Literally nobody.
But the precise second you start making those in power break out in a sweat?
107 days.
107 days from proposal to law.
THAT is why we have assault rifles.
That is why we need assault rifles.
Because nothing else gets things done like the threat of immediate de-encephalization.
The California legislature made all kinds of happy-fun noises about civility, "good will" and more, but at the end of the day, it was because a bunch of pissed off people got sick and tired of being slaughtered like animals, and put those in power on notice that they could bleed.
Thats the surest way to bring about their complete downfall and they KNOW it.
Funny how that worked out, eh?
NOTHING WORKS OUT!
The fuck have you been the last 50 years? :D
Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association would be to “promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis,” according to a magazine editorial written by Church.
After being granted a charter by the state of New York on November 17, 1871, the NRA was founded. Civil War Gen. Ambrose Burnside, who was also the former governor of Rhode Island and a U.S. senator, became the fledgling NRA’s first president.
According to NRA co-founder George Wingate’s own account in his 1896 History of the Twenty-Second Regiment of the National Guard of the State of New York, the organization was founded to fulfill a perceived need to provide marksmanship training for members of the armed forces, prompting his authorship of a rifle training manual and participation in the creation of the National Rifle Association.
Thats all it was... nothing about gun collecting, gun owning, Second Amendment rights, assault rifles, etc.
Theyre very confused about now. Thats why theyre going bankrupt. :D
