We are presently in a period of rapid inflation and skyrocketing housing costs. Let’s imagine we pass some law that limits the supply of semi-automatic rifles. Tax them out of existence, initiate confiscation via the Orwellian term “buy backs”, you-name-it.
You’ve now dramatically increased the value of the tens of millions of semi-automatic firearms currently in circulation that are completely untraceable. All during a time where this administration is deliberately raising gas prices to force Americans into electric cars that don’t meet their needs.
If you want a robust black market for firearms, by all means, charge ahead with whatever the progressives are suggesting for policy.
I started a thread for this years ago, and I suggest we pick up the conversation over there.
