I don't speak for everyone else, but I know there are some people who'd like to see certain types of guns and ammo banned from society. They're honest about it here at Mock, in the media, in Congress, throughout society...
But, I don't know if I've ever once come across a person who said that there should be no guns whatsoever legally available to qualified U.S. citizens. That would in fact be a violation of the Second Amendment and an extreme position that I can't see ever becoming a reality in the U.S. or most other developed countries.
Times and views and needs change. I don't see all changes related to gun control and gun safety as being a slippery slope to total disarmament and martial law or anything like that. But, I understand that you and others see it differently. So it goes.
Anyway, nothing in Obama's Executive Actions bans any guns or ammo. And, the Georgia bill is not unique; it's the elected officials of the states' right to decide, not the right of national gun enthusiasts or the gun lobby. But, I don't think the Georgia bill will be passed anyhow.
I saw that Georgia House Speaker Ralston made clear Friday that legislation calling for an all-out state ban on “assault weapons” will not be considered on his watch. I'll be very surprised if the bill garners enough support in gun-friendly Georgia to pass both the state's Senate and the House. We'll see.
