Reminder that it was Reagan who took guns away in California because he didnt want Black Panthers having guns.

I am 100% aware, thank you. But that doesn't change the fact that dems have to spout garbage about gun bans every time they open their mouths.

Red flag laws to prevent nutbags from owning assault rifles isn't 'a gun ban'. No one's treading on you sweetie. No one step on snek.

You just feel so persecuted someone might DARE to regulate your fetish it gets you all worked up.

So many assumptions in one comment, lmao. You don't know me, but nice attempt at insulting me.

But FWIW, "assault weapons ban" is literally a "ban" and they've been pushing it for years. I'm not talking about red flag laws.

EDIT: Okay I'm seriously confused why so many of you outright deny that dems are constantly talking about gun bans. Do you watch the news, like at all? No matter the source, and AT LEAST every election cycle, there's a constant stream of pushing for an assault weapons ban. You have to be actually living under a rock to have never seen those words written or spoken by a dem.

And FWIW, THIS IS COMING FROM A DEM. I am against gun bans, but why the fuck are you lying and denying that dems don't talk about gun bans??? Are you trying to play stupid?

Got any solid examples as of late?

No, they don't. You're either lying or massively exaggerating.

Nobody who has been on Reddit or Lemmy for any amount of time needs a reminder about that because it gets repeated 1 million times per day on every platform whenever gun control is mentioned.
