The only way they'll get rid of most of the guns is by searching property to property. Many won't comply with unconstitutional bans. And they don't have the agreement to change the constitution about this. Too fucking bad, the working class will remain armed. I wish ammo hadn't gotten so expensive though.
You're right, unwarranted doorkicking for unconstitutional search and seizure is very unlikely, thankfully.
I think dem-liberals have basically just used gun reform as a contrast to separate them from their opposition, but it's had the side effect of giving many working class folks the false sense that the State is responsible for protecting them. The fringe-right neighbor-hating hyper-individualists have co-opted almost the entire narrative around the 2A conversation, and it sucks.
Years of history of armed labor unions and working class heroes unremembered, the fruit of their sacrifice handed over willingly by ignorant descendants. It's tragic.
I used to be a lot more of a gun nut when I was younger. Now, I see them as an unfortunate necessity in an embattled, dark world, and nothing more.
Yes! Every time I start to think "Hey maybe I should stock up a little..."
There go the friggin' preppers using their midlife crisis money to clear out the shelves of anything but the most obscure cartridges.
