Quote of the Day

We have officially entered the spaghetti phase of gun control. This is when those in favor of reducing or eliminating Americans’ gun rights introduce all manner of legislative schemes to restrict law-abiding citizens from purchasing, selling, making, and probably soon inheriting firearms, in the hope that something sticks to the wall.

Sometimes it’s a specific firearm, like the AR-15 rifle or a GLOCK pistol. Other efforts target broader categories of firearms such as all semi-automatic firearms.

Thanks to the Supreme Court of the United States and major legal opinions such as Heller and Bruen, gun control efforts have been hitting a brick wall.

That wall was erected in large part through the efforts of organizations like the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the NRA, the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, Gun Owners of America and others. Those groups have taken on cases like these, pushing them up the judicial chain to the highest court in the land.

But alas, that hasn’t stopped state legislatures and candidates for public office from making up, well, effluvia. It’s as if they have a team sitting around just dreaming stuff up, which they clearly do.

We’ve Arrived at the Spaghetti Phase of the Gun Control Movement in America – Shooting News Weekly

The same political party did the same type of thing with all the Jim Crow laws, too. No sooner than one law would get struck down they would think of other laws to keep those “uppity black skinned people” under control.

And, of course, nearly all the original gun control laws in this country were originally intended to prevent blacks from being able to defend themselves from the KKK. The political party which likes to think of themselves as progressives is actually very regressive with things like gun control and socialism being the most obvious examples.
