Biden announce his gun stuff today pretty much cements me thinking he's going to lose 2024 if Trump sticks around.

if you're gonna go after gun policy, do it 3 and a half years before the election. let people see that there was no slippery slope and that life simply continues to be better with a non-maniac at the helm.

I don't know. He is going after "ghost guns" which are kits that you can send to people to build their own guns w/o serial numbers, etc.

I think shmenguin said it, do this early. It could be taking a step in the right direction in getting illegal type guns harder to obtain while also showing they aren't coming to your door to steal your guns. People will forget in a few years. I always say they have short memories.

Honestly, I'm a gun guy, but I think this is a good move IMO.

Well...

An associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) who had been charged with sex trafficking of a minor and was suspected of connecting the congressmen to women with whom he could have sex is in plea negotiations to resolve the allegations against him, according to his lawyer and a prosecutor on the case, a potentially ominous sign for Gaetz if the associate ultimately cooperates with prosecutors in a bid for leniency.

Joel Greenberg, the former tax collector for Seminole County, Fla., had first been charged last summer in a bare-bones indictment that prosecutors repeatedly superseded to add charges of sex trafficking of a minor, stealing from the tax office and even trying to use fraud to get covid-19 relief money while out on bond. In the course of the investigation into his conduct, people familiar with the matter have said, federal authorities came across evidence that Gaetz might have committed a crime and launched a separate investigation into him.

At a status conference in the case Thursday, federal prosecutor Roger Handberg told a judge he expected the case to end in a plea, though negotiations are ongoing. Fritz Scheller, an attorney for Greenberg, asked the judge to set a deadline of May 15 for the two sides to either reach a deal, or move toward a trial in the summer.

He's going after pistol build ARs and Pistol Braces, which means I may now have to register with the NFA on something that was previously legal. It's just the first step in "give an inch and take a mile."

Well...

This no background check is dented head logic. He must be referencing rifle sales or something that don't require it. Every purchase I've made at a gun show has required a background check. It's the same exact process if I were to go to an actual store.

Need a central registry. Need to know where a weapon is, and where it has been. Dented heads would call this a slippery slope. The government has yet to come for my car, despite having this data, though.

Thanks. I ask because there is a contingent that thinks they can subvert the 2A through enacting barriers to entry like high annual registration fees, oppressively high compulsory 'gun insurance', and disincentivizing ammo purchases. All things that sound great to government budget writers/spenders.

Maybe the slippery slope thing is this...the vegas shooter engaged in fringe behavior by accumulating the weapons that he did, which made him an outlier and should have put him on an FBI watch list. I would like that model to exist and it would be enabled by a registry. But y’all are gonna talk about your “rights” on this one.

Cool idea. Who cares about guns and voting anyway.
