Gina Raimondo, has long advocated for a ban on assault weapons and guns in schools...On the campaign trail, Biden promised to introduce sweeping gun control legislation to add significant amounts of regulation and oversight on guns, with the addition of "smart guns" at the center of his policy...

GLOCK22 Posted December 3, 2020 at 03:20 AM Share Posted December 3, 2020 at 03:20 AM I'd say CRIME is a health issue....what have they done to alleviate that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted December 3, 2020 at 07:08 AM Share Posted December 3, 2020 at 07:08 AM And now that state courts have granted the govenment and governors wide authority to control 'health issues' by EO buckle up and hope the supreme court gets off their duff and lays down the law. I have said since day one all these Covid mandates had an ulterior motive to see how far they could push things before the court stopped them and how accepting the masses were to being controlled.

Xwing Posted December 3, 2020 at 04:41 PM Share Posted December 3, 2020 at 04:41 PM I think that "authoritarian politicians" are a much more severe health issue than "guns". Let's ban authoritarians... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedBystander Posted December 3, 2020 at 05:32 PM Share Posted December 3, 2020 at 05:32 PM When reading articles about expected priority EOs and EAs in Biden admin, guns did not get mentioned in spite of stated harsh firearms goal. Made me wonder if that was taking a backseat for now or just media conveniently not reporting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me wonder if that was taking a backseat for now or just media conveniently not reporting...My bet is: He couldn't take our guns away when he was vice-president in charge of gun control, and now with a court that is 2a friendly it might be wise to leave gun control alone. He pokes the gator he will probably lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitter Clinger Posted December 4, 2020 at 03:28 PM Share Posted December 4, 2020 at 03:28 PM Democrats are doing what they always do: Changing the language to fit their agenda.They couldn't confiscate guns before with other methods they've tried, so now they're going to frame it as a "public health issue".If you recall, not too long ago, they framed racism as a "public health issue" too. The whole thing is absurd and only meant to push an agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauserme Posted December 4, 2020 at 09:46 PM Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 at 09:46 PM There's new emphasis on suicide prevention by firearm, rather than suicide prevention by any means. Part of this a push to pass state level legislation as we saw proposed in Illinois, to establish a way for people to voluntarily relinquish their rights by adding their names to a "do not sell" list. It's absurdity in the extreme - expecting people who would choose not to buy a guy to want the government to force their own decision upon them. That could possibly morph into a red flag type of law, where family, intimate partners, law enforcement, etc could then petition a court to have an individual's name added without their consent.
