This is like getting a speeding ticket, for a road you drove on years ago…. but now the speed limit changed… so you have to pay for the past.
Come December, we’ll be required to pay a few thousand $$ USD, for items we own that have been perfectly legal for decades…. all because the ATF decided to change the definition.
And guess what? We will. We will comply, no problem, register and pay the Queen the tax stamps they “SUDDENLY MAGICALLY” decided to make up.
But. Don’t EVER fucking ask us again why we’re voting one way or another. this is why. Shit EXACTLY like this is why we vote how we vote. Be that Trump, Reagan, Bush, or whatever asshat comes next…. the 2nd amendment, I’m fully aware gets changed, but it matters more to us than abortion, child labor laws, masks, infrastructure, mandates, blah blah blah — the 2nd amendment is an issue that’s got feds ROUTINELY AND YEARLY dipping their hands in our pockets for random shit they make up, on a whim… without due process…..
again, I’m fully aware this is the game, and being in this hobby, requires us to adapt. But…. with that adaptation… has come a decision that we vote on ONE SINGLE POLICY and WHOMEVER steals from us the least gets our vote.
So remember that election time. remember next time you ask “how could you vote for a tyrant!?!? a rapist!? a fascist!!? a monster!??” that’s how. cause if that monster isn’t stealing from my pock every month with new laws and new rules they make up out of thin air about THIS SINGLE ISSUE… they get our vote.
you can bicker and argue all you want, with all your opinions and ethics. So long as someone is dipping their grimy hands in my pocket, stealing, without my consent…. they don’t get my vote.
you vote your way, we’ll vote ours.
