You’re not taking into account the 250 years our country has had guns be fully legal & how bad our cops are

I know people with generations of functioning firearms that have been hoarded. I’ve seen people who own multiple functional M60s

Take into consideration as well that the very people who would enforce these bans (cops) are very supportive of these weapons stockpiles (frequently they ARE them) and they’re racist and want to keep their power as-is

Now: do you maybe see why even a leftie here might push back against gun laws? The people who’d enforce it would get to remove weapons from those they don’t want having them while ensuring they get to keep whatever they want

It’s literally what happens every time we pass laws restricting gun ownership. I know of a shit ton of cops here in California with very illegal weaponry that they occasionally brag they fucking stole from minorities when the laws were passed
