You make it sound like the opposition does not already do what it wants, when it wants.
Obama wanted to ban bump stocks as machine guns. He didn't do it because ATF told him he couldn't under the regs. Then Trump comes along and does it anyway. So now there's precedent. Now the regs alone won't stop them. Trump is opening doors that will never be closed. He's too short sighted to see it or doesn't care to see it. Everyone on this board cheering this government by emergency crap will scream like stuck pigs when the next Democrat president declares a "gun violence emergency".
