watching what is happening in Virginia and I’m sure other states, has me wondering this lately. It seems gun politicians are successfully using the death by 1000 cuts method to ban firearms.

For example in Virginia, they proposed a semi auto rifle ban and a 15 round magazine capacity ban but grandfathered in preowned guns and magazines.

In this latest version of the bill as far as I’m understanding, they have decided that you can keep your grandfathered magazines, but can only use 15 round magazines outside of the home for concealed carry.

Then, as we see, in other states, the possibility would be OK now the mag limit is 10. Sorry about that.

Then oh, you actually cant have pre-banned things anymore (like Rhoad Island) Sorry about that.

Thus over the course of however many years you go from being able to own AR 15s with standard magazines to then being limited a little bit and then limited more till you get to laws like California, New York, etc.

not to be 100% doom and gloom, but I see no light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe I’m just lost in the sauce.

The federal government and the Supreme Court in my eyes seem to not care and are not willing to do anything about it and from a citizens perspective no one wants to do anything drastic.

I am in no way shape or form advocating for violence, but from a historical perspective, the second amendment is there so that we have the means to use arms against the government if they become tyrannical and or infringe on birth given or constitutional rights.

I myself am not willing to do that in this day and age one because it’s a suicide mission because we’re so divided on when the time is to do such a thing that I personally don’t think we have the organization to get it done.

so saying that I feel like they’ve won so other than voting against politicians so that I can have my Glock 17 magazine for 10 more years. What can I do other than keep up-to-date with state law and say OK cool I guess I’m limited to 15 rounds OK. I guess I’m not limited to 10 and just sitting there and dealing with it.

my personal opinion again, not willing to fight in the streets is that “noncompliance“ is bull. it’s just confirming your incarceration because if they ban a over 10 round magazines, and you say I’m not gonna comply all that means is you’re continue carrying your 17 round magazine and then get arrested when/if you have to use it in a previously lawful situation. in that situation I feel I would wish that I had complied and use the legal magazine instead of ““sticking it to the man“ and ending up in prison away from my family for 10 years.

again, this is a very doom and gloom post, but I am wondering what others think on the matter and if there’s anything you plan or think we can do outside of voting and donating to pro gun organizations, and after that just bending over to the next infringement until there’s nothing left.

Sorry for the downer of a question
