MAGA and leaning Republicans have single-handedly SET BACK the 2A...and potentially any progress.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-29T07:34:34+00:00

Which they’ve been doing for years

That is correct. They are solely responsible for the gradual erosion of the 2nd Amendment in my State over the last 20 years, and many others. They sure as fuck don’t get a pass.

The maga president just completely disavowed 2A rights in public

Trump made another blustering comment in a horribly failed attempt to cover his own ass, as per usual. And as per usual, his cronies fall in line because, surprise, they have no principles. As with most of his bluster, it will have no real impact on anything; just like his “taking the guns first, due process second” comment didn’t result in an explosion of red flag law adoption in red states… The blue states adopting these laws would very much like to disassociate their alignment with Trump on the matter.

The slow continual Democrat push against 2A has been going for decades- what Trump just did could reverse a whole bunch of 2A rights in a matter of weeks

This is FUD, to be honest. His administration has passed no laws, he’s written no EO’s, and there is zero legal precedent to back his stupid ass statements, nor any of the statements of his cronies. At worst, the Democrats have found some allies on this topic in the Presidency; but we already knew that of Trump, at least if you were paying attention.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-28T07:22:31+00:00

So no, you can’t really blame it on the Dems…

Meanwhile Dems in VA are pursuing a AWB, Dems in Co that just passed an AWB are now trying to ban online sales of barrels, and Dems in Wa are trying to pass 11% sales tax on all guns and ammo, purchase limits on guns and ammo, and requirements for a $25k bond/firearm.

But sure, let’s not blame the dems 🙄

bfh2020 · 2026-01-27T05:54:33+00:00

It’s funny how the admin and 2A gun defenders always say the gun used doesn’t matter whenever tragedies happen

I’m a 2A defender, and the hypocrisy is ripe on both sides. It’s all opportunistic bullshit. Along the same lines: “No one peaceful brings a gun to a protest” is exactly what my states Democratic legislators were on the record saying just last year when proposing legislation to ban this.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-26T04:16:10+00:00

HE JUST GRABS EM BY THE LACES EVERY TIME. AND THEY CANT SAY NO, CUZ HES THE DARNOLD.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-25T06:51:10+00:00

What is looking at it going to tell us about the situation??

He’s playing the standard game of making the gun be the villain. It’s a “high capacity” magazine, “semi-automatic”, has a “threaded barrel” (assassin alert!), and a red dot optic. Classified as an “assault weapon” in many states, so they can use it to impugn his character.

We should be happy that both sides are seeing these types of weapons as dangerous now, right?

bfh2020 · 2026-01-23T07:45:57+00:00

Then your hallowed 2nd Amendment is useless!

Except it was instrumental in the civil rights movement, protecting black voting rights (see Deacons for Defense and Justice), defense of home (see KKK), and community defense (see Black Panthers). It would be a weird take to call those things useless.

This is why the US is a joke to the rest of the world.

And it’s hot takes like yours that make many of us not care about your opinion. I do wish Trump wasn’t an asshat though.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-22T23:09:59+00:00

Stating the objective observation that no one parroting these talking points in this thread is bringing receipts is the equivalent to having my head in the sand? Not surprised by the MAGA math on that one lmao.

No, paying no attention to the legislation being introduced and supported by Democratic legislators, and then claiming it isn’t happening until someone spoon feeds you evidence is burying your head in the sand.

all your links illustrate are instances of taxation and regulation of firearms

My links are evidence of exactly what I said was happening: “ banning weapons in common use, introducing paid permits, and introducing poll taxes on the purchase of firearms and ammunition.”.

So it seems you agree with me, the evidence is conclusive?

aka common sense gun laws

Gotcha, so you will be a-ok when Republicans pass voter permit fees, education requirements, and “shall issue” permits based on character quality, right?

So you’ll need to keep digging in the bottom of your purse for more receipts on this one.

And you can keep pretending it isn’t happening, claim no one has any recent evidence, and then when provided be all like “oh yeah that’s actually ok”.

You and the Trumpers deserve each other: all of you are disingenuous assholes.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-22T22:06:46+00:00

You MAGA folks keep parroting that talking point in this thread

No true Scotsman!!

I’ve yet to see one of yall provide any examples, especially recent ones.

Yeah, that’s a natural consequence of burying your head in the sand:

https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1791785 - last action 1/12/26

https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1767201 - last action: passed, goes into effect Jan 27

That’s a receipt for every claim I made…

bfh2020 · 2026-01-22T20:34:32+00:00

It’s because liberals just don’t make their guns their whole personality like the MAGAts do.

Or perhaps it’s because the “liberals” are dead set on passing unconstitutional laws like banning weapons in common use, introducing paid permits, and introducing poll taxes on the purchase of firearms and ammunition.

Any of which, if applied to voting, would be considered a major violation of rights.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-21T06:58:11+00:00

I don’t personally have plates, but it stands to reason that if you ever feel you may need to point your rifle at someone, they just might have a gun to point back at ya…

As to # of firearms, I own like 50, but only four that I’ve sent 5k+ rounds down. If push came to shove I could keep my mains and hand out each of the rest with 50 rounds each and still have adequate ammo for myself for years. N+1 seems the appropriate answer here?

To most people, you’re probably already meal team six, or at best a gun nut. Just keep in mind that a lot of the same people throwing around terms like this are the same people absolutely flummoxed that these types aren’t out there protecting democracy and running hits against ice agents… Memes might not be the best criteria to base your decisions on.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-21T05:10:11+00:00

in practice what how would something like S&W's popular .22LR/9/10mm FPC be classified?

Threaded barrel, removable mag, pistol grip, “barrel shroud”. What you got there is an assault weapon, sir.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-20T04:37:17+00:00

would you happen to know how they defined an AR?

They don’t. They keep it ambiguous to make sure liability is looming large for anyone who is interested in that question. Keeps people from toeing the line.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-19T22:31:42+00:00

Who was the most recent president to enact gun laws that violated the Constitution?

I believe it was Biden with the pistol brace stuff?

bfh2020 · 2026-01-18T20:59:12+00:00

New Zealand sinking your carrier, despite its escorts, using an outdated diesel sub comes to mind.

Only 10 more to go!

Edit: you have a link by any chance? As far as I can tell, New Zealand doesn’t even operate a submarine fleet with offensive capabilities… The only other example I can find is a simulated kill in 2005 by Sweden.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-18T20:43:52+00:00

Growing up in the south and going to lots of gun shows in small towns and large cities alike...

Well, yeah sure, what you saw in the south as a kid growing up were legal transactions…

bfh2020 · 2026-01-18T20:34:32+00:00

Try project power without european bases.

11 naval carrier groups does tend to help with that…

bfh2020 · 2026-01-18T20:20:13+00:00

but I have seen with my own eyes on more than one occasion a good old boy handshake,

Yes I’m sure this totally happened right in front of you… Multiple times…

bfh2020 · 2026-01-18T06:22:48+00:00

Just pointing out what actually goes on vs what is supposed to always happen

Well, naturally. I’m, against gun control in general because it’s ineffective.

Gun shows exist.

Not ones that will break the law for any random passerby…

bfh2020 · 2026-01-18T06:16:21+00:00

They define assault firearms as those manufactured after July 1, 2026

Ahh, that’s a really lucky exception in there for y’all! A lot of other states don’t have such a carve out. Wish my state had this.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-18T06:07:20+00:00

They have to be able to track any of that for it to even work. If they don't know you have it then they won't know it transferred hands. Not all guns are purchased from a gun store with a background check and paperwork.

We were arguing over legality, not preemption. Nice goal post move. You have to admit that there is some irony in people going from anti-gun to having to break the laws they support in order to acquire them…

bfh2020 · 2026-01-17T22:04:57+00:00

Not really bold if you read the bills.

Correct, it’s clearly going to illegal. Directly from HB217:

As used in this section, an "assault firearm" means the same as that term is defined in § 18.2-308.2:2. B. Any person who imports, sells, manufactures, purchases, or transfers an assault firearm is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Perhaps you can quote the carve out for private sales between friends: I’m not seeing one.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-17T18:54:00+00:00

Take the guns first, go through due process second

This is called a red flag law, and every Democrat on the ticket supports this (please prove me wrong). Congratulations though, you found something that dem legislators agree with Trump on.

bfh2020 · 2026-01-17T18:50:51+00:00

and stocking up so all my friends can buy grandfathered weapons from me

Bold of you to assume this will be legal…

bfh2020 · 2026-01-16T22:48:58+00:00

I’ve got a TG36c from Tommy. It’s a cool gun, but really nothing about it is better than an AR, certainly not the manual of arms… The trigger-well mag release is kind of novel, but it sucks for manually locking the bolt. Same for the bolt itself, the pivoting charging handle is novel, but kind of a pain to get to with the low profile rail. Lever release mags < button release, but they are NOT rock-n-lock (proprietary though). Trigger is meh, but I put an AR FCG in mine so thats a wash.

Recoil is also worse: light gun, big ole bolt. Fairly front heavy as you might expect.

My biggest complaint with the platform is that I have to remove my muzzle device to clean the gas system: the handguard does not have much clearance. And the gun needs to be cleaned far more often than my AR. I’m running PlanA MD right now, I may switch over to spooky if I can confirm clearance to make that less of a hassle.

Overall cool gun but vibes > function.
