As for your comment about being unhinged. No I don’t think that they are unhinged. But that doesn’t mean that they will comply.
How many of our people complied with government edicts concerning Covid?
Existing evidence shows that the majority of people will not comply. Which leaves the government either to enforce it with unconstitutional draconian measures that will lead to shoot outs in some cases perhaps even more. But even if they choose not to enforce it they have still turned millions of gun owners who will not comply into felons. You might say so what? I call that greatest abuse of civil rights in our history.
The government needs to think before it acts.
And the same applies to abortion. We can outlaw it. We can hold providers responsible. But to start filling our jails with women would be a huge governmental overreach.
I believe this point is valid regardless of whether or not confiscation makes sense. Because in essence at this moment none of these owners are criminals. You are criminalizing them based upon something that they might do in the future.
