As if our justice system isn’t already overloaded with genuinely violent criminals and sociopaths as it is. Yeah, let’s also screw up the lives and futures of our actually PRODUCTIVE citizens – that’ll teach those people to stand up for the Constitution and resist incursions upon their rights!
If you add up the apparent millions of already non-compliant Americans – from the New York SAFE Act ignorers, to the state bump-stock deniers, to the magazine ban resisters from sea-to-shining-sea – how do you think that would affect the economy by prosecuting, imprisoning, and throwing out-of-work ALL of those millions of people? Not to mention the governmental costs of prosecution and appeals and imprisonment.
At some point you realize that in the real world it’s NEVER. GOING. TO. HAPPEN. At least not in any serious way. They might find a few hapless saps to use as “examples”, but they can afford neither the financials nor the optics of house-to-house searches and mass round-ups of non-compliant citizens.
While they are wasting millions of dollars to put peaceful citizens under the boot, they could be rounding up ACTUAL criminals. It’s insanity.
Are these laws just empty threats then? Are these felony-happy legislators just laughable-yet-impotent fanatics? Maybe. But that doesn’t make them less dangerous.
Because anytime legislators use the power of government and threat of force to strip citizens of their rights and make them overnight criminals, we are in dangerous territory. Letting these laws stand for a single day sets dangerous precedent. But we can only litigate and strike down one bad law at a time. Thank Gawd for two SCOTUS appointments.
So now DiFi is cranking her broken Victrola again. Yay, more overnight felons. How many more will it take until legislators wake up to the insanity? I guess until the only ones who have firearms are the ACTUAL felons. They’ll be the only ones running free and we’ll all be in jail for possessing glorified Pez dispensers.
I figure if I’m going to have my life and career ruined eventually anyway, I might as well keep the felony meter running. I’m thinking it’s time to learn how to spite-build another AR. Better get in before the rush.
