“There ARE rivers of blood in some places.”

yeah, from the criminals who already carried, and do carry, guns without permits even in states with draconian anti-gun laws.

But not because law abiding people were allowed by law to carry guns without permits.

I open carry all the time. I also support the First Amendment. If someone is trusted to be in public unsupervised, they deserve all of their rights. That includes felons. If they’ve served their time, their debt to society is deemed paid. If they can’t be trusted to have all of their rights back, they shouldn’t be released.

Patience.

The executives said that ambiguity in federal laws was exploited by regulators under the Obama and Biden administrations in order to pursue political objectives.

Yes, because Congress won’t do what it is supposed to do, and always tries to avoid responsibility, Trump can’t do what his admin would likely do. All he can do is work around the laws that Congress has allowed to be passed.
Let your congresscritters know you want them to do their job and actually fix DC’s problematic gun laws.

(BTW, Congress did its job with some home rule laws at one point. But their repeal of them got vetoed by Slow Joe’s admin.)

They have to be able to solve murders with those guns, don’t you know?
I mean, they can’t point to any actual crimes solved (except, maybe a stolen firearm they could return to the proper owner) by tracing the firearm back to its original manufacture. But it’s somehow important they be able to do that.

There ARE rivers of blood in some places.
Interestingly, they’re all in places with lots of really draconian anti-gun laws. Which don’t seem to be used to actually stop bad people from getting and using guns. Huh.

‘Gun violence.’ ‘Gun crime.’ ‘Assault rifles.’ ‘Why does anyone need an AR-15?’

The list goes on, with the above code words and phrases perched atop the Democrat Party’s list of scaremongering attacks against the Second Amendment and America’s law-abiding gun owners.
