These and almost all other anti-gun laws are NOT based on good intentions.
They flow from self-serving, opportunistic, politicians playing on the temporary emotional reactions of the ill informed or from groups of politicians who disregard what the voters want to raise their stature in the eyes of their own anti-Constitution peers.
Very well stated.
You know I think it goes beyond mere opportunism, but that plays a role. The Dems and rinos want a disarmed public to consolidate power. The pols are compromised by deep state operatives.
