    Not gun ban. Assault weapons ban.

    You literally quoted it. Also, give me one good reason you would need a fucking assault rifle? A pistol? Sure i guess. But an assault rifle?

      Assault weapon is a made up propaganda term created to trick people into thinking assault rifle, a military rifle with select fire, which is not currently legal to own for the vast majority. And as you’ve demonstrated here, it works brilliantly.

      Assault rifles have been banned from manufacture for civilians since 1986. Meaning the only people who can afford the few there are are the rich.

      No, Harris is talking about banning arms in common use, which are explicitly protected by the right of the people to keep and bear arms. (Re: Heller) One does not need to justify their use of their rights. They simply have it. Just like every other right.

      Harris is attacking rights, is grasping the third rail, as one of the first things she says on her campaign trail.

        You don’t have rights, which can’t be taken away. You have privileges.

        Ask any women who used to have the ‘right’ of privacy with her medical professional(s) to choose if and when she could terminate a pregnancy what the difference is.

        Our constitution grants us the privilege of privacy, but the courts didn’t see it that way, on this specific topic, so women no longer have that privilege in some locations.

        “They’ve been coming for our guns” my entire 47 years of existence. I wish they’d hurry up already, because this is a near half-century of diabolical planning.
