    I believe ammunition and gun manufacturers love a Democrat president, probably their biggest supporters. I see a magazine capacity ban/restriction coming down the pipe but that's about all. And just like when Clinton did it, put the thirty round mags in back of the closet and wait for a Republican to repeal it in a couple years.

    I'd be really surprised given the shear logistics, if a successful AR ban was passed. You'd see these mouth breathing neckbeards completely lose it and go whackadoodle. Seeing how most cherish their AR over anything else, Incel, mass shootings would probably flourish if a gun ban actually passed.

    And... as much as I like my guns I joined an archery site for a reason, mostly bc sites dedicated to guns are full of full blown nutjobs. Growing up my dad owned a gun store briefly and dealt guns for years after. He got rid of the store mostly due to the general public and the tire kicking simpletons he hated dealing with, the obsessed.

    Ironically, I'm meeting a contractor to go over the bid for the build out and clean up of the command module this week. Donated the computer system that was left behind to a museum, my old Nokia phone probably had more computation power than that system that took up an entire room.

    The bills being introduced aren't just about AR's, the language that is being used to draw attention to the scary assault weapons also throw a blanket over just about any semi auto firearm.

    I never worry about Bills, most never even make it onto the floor. All the opposition has to do it tack a ryder on its dead in committee. This Bill for example has done nothing more than boost gun sales, again. But then again, nah nevermind, America even with a democrat controlled house, Senate and executive branch couldn't get it done and even if they did get some form of a ban in place it would be challenged and tied up in legal debate for the rest of my lifetime. What I do believe though, it sure is a nifty tactic to overvalue guns and make a lot of money. It gets people fired up and fleeced, nothing more nothing less. But but... I'll eat a copy of the gun ban legislation when it passes, with daves insanity sauce.

    When it comes to politics, one thing I’ve come to know, is I don’t know anything.
    With that aside, I think you are right about them not being able to pass a bill banning AR-15s right now. I could be wrong.

    But I do know for a fact that they will just continue to chip away at our gun rights until they actually do have the power to do that.

    AR’s as a whole may be untouchable right now, but AR- pistols aren’t. “large capacity mags” aren’t. Body armor definitely isn’t.
    They are going to just keep chipping away until the accomplish their goal.

    Anybody watch EO Joe's Presser? The man should not be trusted with the TV remote much less the nuke football.

    Wow, that was hard to watch.

    He states that he is going to run for re-election! Lol, he won't make it for a full first term.

    OkieBob. I never ask about anyone's financial stuff but I will as this seems prudent now.
    When Trump got in, you ranted about " Stroking a Big Check" at tax time I believe?
    How's it this year?

    I stroke a big check just about every year or to be exact 4 times a year. But I don't believe Biden’s tax plan is in play yet. Ive watched the last two administrations whittle down deductions, write offs and credits. Im sure this administration will be no different. But I've also lived, worked and been a resident in other countries where I paid as much as 48% in taxes. Seems like my average here is about 35-37%. I'm going to get butthurt every year I pay taxes.
