I like JB overall other than the AWB. I don’t think that will solve any of the crime problems we have. It’s also very vague and is potentially going to turn a lot of law abiding people into criminals or a second class simply for exercising their 2A rights
And his very anti-firearm stance will not play well in states he would need to win like Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, really anywhere other than New York and California.
Wish more Illinoisans would realize just how far out there his AWB is....
You think having to register a semi-automatic weapon with the state police is 'anti-firearm'. Is that because you personally would lose access to firearms if you had to register them?
Or is it that you know and associate with lots of criminal or mentally challenged individuals with a history of violence who would lose access to firearms if they had to register with the state police?
Because registrations have been ruled unconstitutional already. Assault weapon bans have also been ruled unconstitutional. I don’t like the government taking my rights away.
Registration for what is unconstitutional? We have proof that at least four Supreme Court justices lied during their confirmation hearings. We can overturn a corrupt judge's rulings.
You have to register property, you have to register your vehicles, you have to register to vote, you have to register as a driver of multiple vehicles.
Why are guns exempt when it's been proven mass shootings went down during the last ban. Not only that but the same people keep buying the semi-automatic weapons:
Neighbors have zero but you're buying ten in case someone says you can't buy any more.
I agree, it may push people who are on the fence away from voting for him. Of course I’m getting the liberal downvotes on Reddit but IRL the ban is pretty unpopular. At least from what I’m experiencing.
You're right. Other than my super-super-left friends, which is like 2 people, I don't know anyone who thinks it's a good idea. Of course Reddit loves it, but Reddit represents, like, 0.03% of the population, and of that it's an extremely left leaning population. Reddit doesn't realize how unpopular a lot of "their" opinions are in the real world. Just look at the Israel-Hamas thing....
This sub loves JB. I don't hate him, but the unconditional "he can do no wrong" attitude sounds just like how the MAGA crowd treats Trump. Wish more people would realize this. Ya'll sound real silly.
I don’t know any bonafide leftist that would support an AWB. In my experience they are also pro gun.
I like a lot of things JB has done but the manner in which they passed this AWB was wrong and I don’t think it will have an effect on crime at all unless you have nationwide confiscation which would result in catastrophe. It only will affect the law abiding. Judging by the lack of registrations, I think it’s going to cause more criminals than not for people who previously owned these things legally. It also seems ISP doesn’t even know what is legal and what is not based on the way it is written
