I feel like it’s a dead issue. Plus there are so many “assault rifles” out there now versus 1994. When was the last serious talk about a AWB? 2008? Serious question not sure
Gun Control is NEVER a dead issue. The next attempt at a total ban will be over "WeaPoNs oF WaR" not assault rifles.

And it doesn't require a Biden victory. If the democrats take the Senate there will be something Trump wants that he'll trade for gun control in a heartbeat. The only time he talks strong on 2A rights is when he needs votes. If he is re-elected, he won't need votes from gun owners ever again.

I'm old enough that I was an adult gun owner when the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 was signed into law by Reagan. The act made it easier to transport long rifles across the US, ended federal records-keeping on ammunition sales & prohibited the prosecution of someone passing through areas with strict gun control with firearms in their vehicle, so long as the gun was properly stored. But to get that there was a bunch of horse trading & shenanigans. It contained a provision banning the ownership of any fully automatic firearms not registered by May 19, 1986. That provision was slipped into the legislation as an 11th-hour amendment by Rep. William J. Hughes, a New Jersey Democrat. Reagan signed it anyway rather than veto it & fight.

That last part hurt reading. The Hughes amendment part. It was some slick shit they pulled.

Spot On!

With the exception of Clinton, Republicans have bartered away more of our gun rights than democrats

You guys are right. I just wish you weren’t
I wish it was different as well. But it won't ever be. Because it is not about guns, it is about CONTROL & there are very few, if any, people who go into politics wanting to have the government give up control. The fight is always about what to control & what groups you have to placate to stay in power. TBH, I doubt Reagan signs the FOPA bill if it hit his desk in his 1st term. By 1986, he was done needing to campaign, just like Trump will be if he is re-elected.

Remember Trump said: "Take the guns first. Go through due process second"

Trump is NO FRIEND TO THE SECOND AMENDMENT. Look at the dangerous precedent he set with using executive fiat to ban bumpstocks. No grandfathering, just a stroke of a pen and hundreds of thousands of people became felons if they didn't surrender/destroy their property....

That's why I'm convinced he'll trade gun rights away in a heartbeat if there is something else he wants to get done. TBH, I'd rather see Biden win & the Republicans keep control of the Senate rather than Trump re-elected with the Democrats controlling both houses of Congress.
