Biden wants to aim this law at owners of AR-15s. If you merely “possess” an unregistered AR-15 or similar rifle under President Joe, you’ll be “imprisoned not more than ten years.”
This plan will surely reduce political tensions. Right?
I think you’re joking but this is one way that the transition from a cold civil war to a hot one happens.
From the introduction to Mike V’s novel that I posted about in another discussion:
Once again we hear demands for bans on semi-automatic rifles and for federal control of all private transfers of all firearms (the so-called “gun show loophole”). This time, it is said, there will be no “grandfather clause” of existing weapons and that confiscation of all military-pattern semi-auto rifles is intended.
Yet the Three Percent will not obey such laws and they will defy the federal government to do anything about it.
I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation. Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that? I began to give him a reasoned answer and he cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”
I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”
To the deep, almost physically painful chagrin of the people of her ilk, even if victim disarmament “worked”, and even after decades of anti-self-defense propaganda, the Productive Class doesn’t want it and doesn’t need it. Except for those those areas controlled by “progressives”, the inner city cores, this is the most peaceful, prosperous and, yes, truly progressive society in the history of the world.
It’s also heavily armed—750 million firearms, according to the industry, “of modern design, in good working order”—it’s pissed off about a number of issues, and better than ever before, it knows its rights. It knows that, even if the Second Amendment were repealed, the basic right to own and carry weapons doesn’t come from the Bill of Rights, The Second Amendment was written to protect a pre-existing organic right to own and carry weapons. In short, the tax-slaves are getting uppity, and that terrifies plantation staffers like this law professor.

I’m reminded of this from L. Neil Smith, titled “AMERICANS HAVE OBEYED THEIR LAST GUN LAW”:
