By your own admission, no Democrat should be allowed to have weapons.
The fact that Democrats still stand behind the Biden administration after two years of nothing but total chaos, is absolute proof they are mentally unstable, which makes them extremely dangerous.

Actually the only gun owners who support this crap have never read the laws. Apparently you do support them. What do you propose to do about the more than 100,000 stops on gun purchases last year alone that were never prosecuted? How do you explain that in the past 25 years, the US population has increased by more than 60 million, more than 100 million more firearms are privately owned, more than 24 million scary looking semi auto rifles have been sold, more than 20 million concealed carry permits issued and 25 states now no longer require a permit to carry a firearm? Oh, and before I forget, the murder rate is some 30% lower now.
Don't believe me? look up the FBI Uniform Crime Report. If you can.
While you are at it, perhaps you can look up Haynes v US in which the SCOTUS ruled that a convicted felon who lies on his purchase form cannot be prosecuted because admitting he was a felon would violate the Fifth Amendment.

Gun control works about as well as anti drug laws. Since almost every mass shooting in this country has occurred in a gun free zone, it's pretty obvious signs don't work. Have you ever wondered why mass murderers don't try and shoot up a gun shop or a police station? Why almost every violent crime victim is unarmed and why armed people rarely are victims?
What you leg humpers don't realize while you are in the throes of hoplophobia, is that the proposed and enacted laws will do NOTHING except deter people who would not commit a crime anyway and neded no deterrence. People who purchase firearms legally almost never commit crimes. In Texas a couple of years ago, out of nearly 500 murder and manslaughter cases, ONE person was a CCL holder. Only a handful were legal purchasers. Nearly every criminal acquires his firearm by means which bypass a background check.
Red f**g laws usually provide for confiscation of private property on the flimsiest evidence, with NO penalties for malicious persecution or prosecution. They are used by vindictive people to "get even" with someone for a real or imagined slight, and the accuser faces no consequences. Unlike Florida, where the accuser or plaintiff must swear to his or her statement under penalty of perjury and must be a medical or law enforcement professional to have standing.
The majority of people who support this nonsense either do not know what they claim to support, or they are complete morons. Which are you?

And a much larger majority would like to see politicians try their hand at criminal control rather than gun control, th latter has never worked to reduce crime, just make criminals out of gun owners.

Again, no one has ever asked me or any of the people that I go to the range with. So, when you attempt to speak for American gun owners you'd better get your facts together. Personally I've been shooting since I was 6 at my fathers knee. I've shot in combat, I hunt to fill my freezer, and I used to shoot competition.
There are two types of gun owners. The first type buys a gun because they feel the need to protect their person and/or property. They typically don't do alot of shooting, rarely as much as they should in ordeer to be good in a high stress situation.
The second type is like me we shoot for the fun of it. We shoot at the range alot, we spend alot of time in the country hunting deer and birds...feeding our families. We carry concealed about 99% of the time. Most of us are better shots than most of the local law enforcment officers. I am a licensed gunsmith and teach concealed carry.
So don't speak for me, you don't have the qualifications.
