Most of these bills will never get out of committee.
This will never happen. That there are people in politics who would attempt it isn't at question. That they would ignite a massive uprising of millions of gun owners - including over half the LEO's and military - would result in the 2A being justified.
We've turned back so many laws and regulations in the last 30 years that attempting to reimpose what we had is considered over the line. Outright confiscation or bans? Didn't work during the AWB and only fueled further buying when Congress let it expire. Frankly, the "libs" focused intent to outlaw guns has become moot - it could be done on paper, but, an unalienable right still exists despite unconstitutional impositions.
That we toe the line and work thru the courts is our way of being polite. Absent any avenue to redress that grievance we then fall back on precedent - which is our constitutional right to revolt and impose public will. It's happened more than once since 1776. Anyone who says it can't happen again is either woefully uninformed or telling lies.
Of course citing precedence in history and how we formed this country in the first place is considered outrageous heresy but the reality is that those of us who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign or domestic understand differently.
As for the usual dumpster load of bills being introduced into Congress they do that almost annually. And we introduce bills to reverse existing infringements, too. We are much closer to National Reciprocity than ever, and removing silencers from the NFA wasn't even considered possible ten years ago. Working within the rules and laws of polite society has been successful.
There is absolutely no doubt that given the opportunity some people on the hill would take absolutely every weapon and anything that looks like a weapon from the public in an instant. Anyone who says otherwise is either woefully uninformed or telling lies.
