@Deap the VA Bill makes it so the only ranges are federally operated ones

Effectively putting lots of people out of business

it is effetivly a ban isint it ?

At least that’s how I understand it

even in England we dont have to have that

Well think of it this way

From a tyrants perspective

If you want to tighten your grip to an unreasonable degree. And soon. Making it so all gun owners have to come to you for their “training” if you will

Allows the government to effectively keep a census of potential enemy combatants

indeed

It gives you their phone numbers emails addresses socials etc etc

Morning

Yo yo

I fucking ran out of coffee goddam it

That’s just sad

Yea it is. Back to the what they were talking about though, the government has been creating lists for a while. Just tallying up peoples purchases, tracking online orders, etc. @Jedimind11[XB1] you hit the nail right on the head with that one “Allows the government to effectively keep a census of potential enemy combatants” they are just watching and waiting, while preemptively passing bills to slowly undermine the 2A and the “hobby” of firearms in general

Wow federally owned ranges only.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started scanning a copy of a drivers license to go

Or write down what firearms you have or some crazy shit. That is the start of some “Big Brother” type shit

Idk if anyone has read 1984 but you should if you haven’t

This is 100% an overreaching government

Trying to play it off for our security

Man banning any tax paying 18 year old from smoking a cig is overreaching in my book. This is the government ensuring their safety for what is to come

Thankfully we have servers like this, full of citizens like us from all walks of life wanting to help out fellow VA gunners from tyrants

Yeah I don’t smoke but I thought that was ridiculous

The nation that would sacrifice freedoms for security does not deserve either and will lose both

I don’t either but in my opinion it was far too much. I understand the health benefits from not smoking, but if you are cool with paying higher taxes on tobacco products, do it. It’s your life and your right. Big Daddy Gov doesnt need to step in

Benjamin Franklin said that

Speaking facts

100% facts

I think if our society wasn’t so polarized Nd didn’t vilify guns it would be ok. “Hey neighbor I’m about to go clean my guns, wanna join” or some shit like that. Rally the American people behind safe practices and recreational shooting to ensure a trained populous against tyrannical governments or domestic threats. Responsible security of the state by a trained militia

Maybe not ok, but better

We would have freedoms and security, while maintaining the whole “one gun per blade of grass” saying

That’s hard to do when you have people who solely go on what the media tells them.

**Breaking news!** CNN: Guns bad!

I know it’s sad

It really is

Guns bad, freedoms bad, orange man bad, Russia bad, privacy destroying tech good, dumbass politicians good

Steady flow of bullshit 24/7

I always laugh when I watch the news now a days

It’s the all same thing. And you can always tell when something positive is happening for the right because CNN/MSNBC will go and cover bullshit like plastic straws so no one sees news coverage of it
