I don't think "bans" or "taxation" is politically tenable but I think they will berth a gadget play that has about a 99% chance of ultimately failing. Then they will still move the ball down the
field far enough to get a field goal- which for the antis right now is bullshit like either federalized ERPO or UBC. Both of those chunks of bullshit, they know they can swindle enough retard voters into accepting, because the "why those things are very bad" explanation is something that inherently is longer than a 3 second sound bite. They also know that both things
will basically be forgotten about by johnny 3 box RetardoFag shooter by the time mid terms come around. (Ask 1000 shooters what the Lautenberg Amendment is, as an example, I bet the rate of the # of people who actually have some understanding of how evil it is, is under 10% of all gun owners. The same would go for a federalized ERPO. )
There is an endless parade of fudd dbags in this country that think that garbage like UBC or "red flag" legislation is "reasonable". Worse yet with the red flag thing they will pretend to apply due process to it by making it like Lautenberg, but anyone who has seen that movie knows that the first RO hearing is basically a form of political theater that goes against the accussed 99.9% of the time regardless of merit. Then the fudds/retards are like "I don't care about that because that will never apply to me" (like the bump stock thing, but basically 1000 times worse. )
As far as "adding seats to the supreme court" or other extreme things like that, if it gets to that point it is going to be impossible for them to prevent someone from losing their
shit over it. I mean in a "The next coming of Marvin Heemeyer the 2nd" opens his Canoe Factory or professional Cord-Wood-Stacking" enterprises kind of way.
I also think we have not seen the flex of gun mafia yet, either. They are a more powerful lobbying force than the NRA is now, although that really isn't saying much
anymore. It's hard to qualify this too because most of their stuff is behind the scenes. The NSSF doesnt comes out and say "yeah we went up to Dem-Businblah and told him that we have people inside union-X and we can pull his endorsement in the drop of a hat" etc.
