What Democrat Control of the Senate Means for Gun Control
Townhall ^ | 9-3-2020 | John R. Lott

Posted on 09/03/2020 12:02:12 PM PDT by VictimsRightsPro2a

Last week, President Trump claimed the election will determine the future of private gun ownership in the United States. On Saturday, the NRA tweeted out that a Biden win “will destroy our Second Amendment.”

They are right. If Democrats gain control, Joe Biden and Senate Democrats promise a radical change in the Senate by eliminating the filibuster, which will allow them to pass any legislation that they want with a simple majority vote.

Gun control is a GIVEN if the Dems take the Senate. Sure, we’ll bitch about the new laws they’ll quickly pass, making us all felons for not turning in our guns*, but considering their plan to pack the courts, that will fall on DEAF EARS. They WILL pass EVERYTHING that Shumer demands - our days are having any power in the Senate will simply be OVER.

...something for you guys who plan to sit out the election or vote Third Party to think about...in your quest to ‘teach the Republicans a lesson’.

*yea, I know, you won’t turn them in. But you BETTER NOT let anyone (including ex’s and in-laws) know you have any of these soon-to-be-illegal guns, and you sure as hell better not consider going to the range with them. And if you try using them in self-defense, ask Kyle (in Kenosha) how that will go.

A gun without ammo is just a club, and in the case of a handgun, a really poor club.

Don’t think they aren’t watching what’s happening with the current ammo shortage, they will immediately propose a huge tax on all ammunition, effectively pricing it beyond what many can afford.

Alabama is gonna replace a Dem Senator(Doug Jones) with a Repub. Senator (Tommy Tuberville), so that’s a +1 for the R’s.

Democrats had their chance for gun control when Obama was elected, and they controlled the House and Senate.

They decided Obamacare was more important. Hope they never get a chance at gun control again.

One of the things that they will push for is requiring all gun owners to have insurance specifically on each gun to cover the cost of imaginary future victims who could possibly end up shot by said firearm. We already have some RINO’s that think this is a good thing.
