This is going to result in either the left arming themselves in a way that will give them political power comparable to the right.
Or the courts will set a legal precedent for gun control regulations.
While I'm disgusted by the fact that it's a targeted act of persecution, this could be the Trump DOJ setting up a long-term win for the left.
Gun control would not be a win for anyone, especially not on the left.
Liberals love gun control
Leftists do not

Ahah, the US right finally found someone that they don't want armed to the teeth.
I'm sure they have a whole list, this just happens to be their favored first domino
Where is the NRA? First trans then unpardoned felons, the homeless, the unemployed poor people. The list goes on. Once in place, adding another group will not be questioned.
The NRA already said they cannot support this and stand against the sweeping ban of firearms.
Per their tweet:
The Second Amendment isn't up for debate.
The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law abiding Americans to purchase, possess and use firearms.
NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process.
rare NRA W, imo.
I think this kills it. NRA is one of the sacred cows of the Republican party, they don't dare defy them.
You mean the NRA is a golden funnel that received money from Russia to funnel into republican politicians to buy their vote to promote Russian interests.

They do this and the motives for violence only increase. How long until the next high profile assassination?
If this is allowed to happen. This will just be the start.
Hahaha...omg. USA. You're always good for a laugh. A sad laugh, as there's always comedy in tragedy and vice versa. But a laugh.
If I'd be lqbtq I'd probably already packing bags for a nice emigration into universal healthcare instead of fascicm and stupidity. Most anywhere else sounds like a nice destination!
