The fact that Trump is going along with every fake shooting,
despite his alleged disdain for "fake news", suggests that he is fully
capable of repeating his executive ban on bump fire stocks to include
all semi-automatic weapons, including both rifles and pistols. That
betrayal would most likely occur after his re-election in 2020, as it
would infuriate a large element of his base, and could safely be done
then.
Serious
gun-owners are insistent that gun ownership is not a privilege
conferred by government and thus revocable by the government. Some call
it a God-given right, while others may regard it simply as a natural
right.
Looking
at the issue from an extended historical perspective, ownership of
weapons has always been tightly controlled. Swords, which were highly
effective at close range, were in many countries the exclusive
possession of a military or aristocratic elite.
Even
knives, the most basic tools of the poor, could be controlled in terms
of when, where and how they could be carried. Crossbows, often extremely
powerful and capable of defeating aristocratic armor, could also be
regulated.
The
use of the phrase Molon Labe, "come and get it" has long since replaced
the invocation of the Second Amendment on t-shirts and other ways of
displaying one's attitude toward guns. ........https://www.henrymakow.com/2019/08/-the-only-real-barrier.html
