At this point, why do we even have the 2nd Amendment. The ATF just does not want it to exist anymore. Hell, the whole government is literally stripping away every single word of the Bill of Rights from existence. In 2030, we’re only gonna be left with “We the people” in the Constitution

As a New Yorker, this is what they did with “registered assault weapons”. You couldn’t sell them, you couldn’t transfer them, you couldn’t pass them down in a will, the state wanted to make it where you couldn’t transfer them out of state. The goal of NY’s SAFE act (hilarious name considering it didn’t make anyone safer) was that as people with registered weapons begin to die off, their guns will need to be taken back by the state. Eventually no one will own them. Never let go of your guns. Ever.

This has been going on for a long time and I have been bitching about it for as long and it will continue until there are real consequences for passing unconstitutional laws (so, it will continue forever). Not just for guns, but for anything, it is the same loop. They want something unconstitutional. They make a law knowing it is unconstitutional and will be struck down. However, they also know it will take months or even years to get through the courts. So they get to have their unconstitutional law for quite some time. Then when it finally is struck down by the courts, they write a new law with slightly different wording that does effectively the same shit and then that gets to be the law for months/years until it works it's way through the courts. And repeat. And why WOULDN'T they do this? They don't get removed, fined, or penalized in any way for passing an unconstitutional law and doing this gets them what they want for at least a little while. It is all reward and zero risk.

A bill about keeping our communities safe would target individuals and stores who are the source of guns ending up in the hands of criminals who shouldn't have them, and dramatically increasing the penalties and budget for investigating and prosecuting the degenerates who shoot at each other in crowded areas like night life districts or beaches. The ODU terrorist used a 22lr handgun, the new legislations wouldn't even address this style of weapon. It was sourced from an individual who now bears the responsability of putting a weapon in the hands of a dangerous convicted criminals[individual who now bears the responsability of putting a weapon in the hands of a dangerous convicted criminals](https://share.google/IXQ9jA4qh68dInWOT). The recent shootings in [VB](https://share.google/hhd9IlKu7WHbWQCs1) and [Richmond](https://share.google/GOp1K9s4F9CMdzWM3) both stem from two armed degenerates wanting to kill each other injuring everybody else around them in the process. Nobody wants to be told the best way to prevent these kinds of incidents is by providing the police w/ the funding and support to actually do their jobs in night life districts and maybe actually hiring a police chief who will investigate and prosecute people for breaking the existing gun laws.

Elections are always the lesser of two evils. I support all the amendments and rights, but one party opposes some rights and the other party opposes other rights. How do you resolve that conflict? There are plenty of 2A people that will sell out the 4A if it lets them keep their guns (for now). Certainly this is the road to ruin, once we lose one right, we will lose another and another, but not voting doesn't help either. Sometimes voting for a anti-2A politician is less likely to bring about tyranny than voting for a 2A politician who hates some of the other rights. If we had 2A politicians that were opposed to the current active tyranny of the feds, they would get my vote, but we have protect democracy today otherwise we can't vote the bastards out.

They actually allow you to sell them as well. The law bans the sale transfer or inheritance of assault rifles, but defines assault rifles as having two of four specified features AND being manufactured after 7/1/2026. So if it was made before that date, it's not an assault rifle and can therefore be transferred. Virginia also does not require person to person background checks.

Depends on the firearm. In most places, most long guns are fine to privately ship to an FFL in the receiving state but some aren't depending on location. Handguns must always go through an FFL. But if something goes wrong with the sale and the gun needs to be returned to the owner, the FFL will only send it back to a nearby FFL. Which won't if you're selling a gun no longer legal in your state. Unconstitutional bullshit like this just makes it a nightmare for law abiding citizens.
