Not this divisive crud again, please. They want us to be as divisive amongst ourselves as they are to us.... Don't.
Most of CA's most restrictive laws weren't passed by voters but we're rammed thru by politicians... just like the NY UNSAFE Act and that BS new law in MA. All rammed thru with out a citizen vote.
No anti gun laws are passed because the pro 2A people 'let it happen'. It's because they were out voted or not given the chance to vote on it and its a disservice to all gun owners to portray it that way.
Those people didn't "let" the laws pass any more than you and every other pro 2A American 'let' the 94 AWB pass.
The Anti 2A politicians introduce these bills because they know this pic represent the average gun owner.

They use the same tactic with everything else, too. Divide and Conquer... demonize and defeat.
These types of bills will continue in large quantities, with limited success but some success none the less, until the average gun owner in America decides that a mantra of 'its an inalienable right for all' isn't enough and that United We Stand is the Answer to their Divided They Fall tactics.
We are all in this boat together. When their is a leak, it should be ALL hands on deck to fix the leak... rather than taking the divisive position that so many do, including THR, of 'Well my seat is dry, so what, they deserve it, they can move' and then start thread to complain that pro gun owners from those states moved to thier states.
Boom. I said it.
I don't see it as a divide and conquer by original plan. The same politicians and voting public that want those unconstitutional laws in a federal level simply were able to do so at a state level because of much less opposition.
It is a stepping stone and leads to a dangerous slope for uninformed voters or people who vote emotionally when tragedy strikes and the mainstream media is filled with "experts" telling us how we need those unconstitutional gun laws nationwide to make us safer. They will/do tell us to look at NY or California and either tell us how muchndafer it is or how bordering areas need the strict gun control to make those places safer.
Enough people are under these unconstitutional laws and fuds come out in full force talking about common sense and the media portrays a happier and fulfilling life without these boom sticks as if to make you feel silly for holding these guns so closely to yourself when the rest of the world seems to get along without them.
My buggest concern with those laws in those states are the possibility of something like the NY safe act making to the federal Supreme Court when the court is anti gun. We shouldn't have this issue for some time because of trump filling the vacancy but it absolutely could have fin the other way if Clinton got elected.
I've heard some people go as far as to argue much of the unconstitutional legislation was written to be implemented nationwide from the beginning.
