"Fuck all happening"? Well, the penalty for not destroying or turning in a bump stock is potentially 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine so I'd say the government takes bump stocks pretty fucking seriously. For them it's a pretty good tradeoff to manufacture a crisis (in which no one actually dies) to get such an accessory taken away. Now think hard on why they would care so much about, as you call it, "some retarded gun accessory".
Ok i’m thinking, hard, and I still don’t get it. It is a retarded gun accessory. It doesn’t make it “auto fire” or whatever out of touch Democrats say. So why ban it then? So Dems can look “responsible” on gun violence while not actually doing shit to solve it. They keep their yuppy constituency happy, and keep the middle ground who don’t actually want their guns taken happy. And anyone who actually cares goes “WTF DID YOU EVEN DO?”
Because its never once mass shooting that repeals shit, it’s multiple. So it’s saying “Yes the government is manufacturing the mass killings of kids…to ban weapons accessories”. To me its the simpler answer which is refer to above. ”Pro gun control” Democrats grandstanding and pretending they did shit to keep getting those sweet votes.
Edit: Nevermind I noticed you said “where no one really dies” which…is arguably even harder to pull off. Seriously, if even the deaths are fake, why not stage a 400 person massacre and use that as a tool to take away guns? So you can rouse enough sympathy with dead kids to take away Americas accessories…but you can’t manufacture enough sympathy with dead kids to outright ban guns?
As for ARs, they know they can't take them away altogether or there would be a revolt. We're just frogs in a pot of heating water and they've absolutely determined ahead of time what "little" things they can outlaw (drip by drip) without us *cough* taking direct action *cough* and jumping out of the pot.
No…like come on. You live in America. I live in America. We’re the most bloviating fucking retards ever. France says they’re gonna raise the retirement age and they start burning shit down and destroying the roads. You could name a MILLION THINGS that America should have revolted over but never did. The income tax amendment, the civil rights act, COVID lockdowns + vaccine mandates, etc. Do you really believe theres one thing they could take away from Americans that would make them revolt? There straight up isn’t. Because we love to sit around and cry revolution but wait for other people to carry the stick in front of us. “I HATE THIS AND DEMAND IT IS CHANGED! NO I WONT ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN TALK!”
