Maybe. I’ve got a few regrets, as I assume everyone does. I do find it a bit presumptuous you feel you made the “wrong” choice years ago. Wrong for you now, it very obviously wasn’t then.  

Man....I've had this same discussion with my wife (about my general wrongness -- a subject on which she is the world's foremost authority).  Maybe I made the "best decision I could at the time with the info and experience that I had," but it was still the wrong decision when it comes the very reason for making such decisions -- achieving a long-term desired outcome.

Based on the info I had at the time, it may have been a perfectly reasonable choice to take the right fork in the road on my journey to The Promised Land.  But if it turns out that the right fork actually leads me to a dead end at a steep cliff, and the left fork actually was the right path to get to The Promised Land, then I made a regrettable choice.  An understandable one, maybe.  One where I didn't act with ill intent.  But the wrong choice nonetheless.

I'll make more mistakes going forward (my wife assures me that I will).  But I'm always trying to limit them, and when I have more complete information -- as I now have about what the GQP will do with power -- I make different choices than I would have made 30 years ago.

Policies certainly change over time. Prior to the 1960's, the democratic party was full of dixiecrats that thought the south would rise again and had to be brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century, and all the racists that boiled off eventually condensed into the modern GQP.

I can honestly say that within my lifetime, the GOP has always been 100% progunflagrockeagle. I grew up similar to LH86 in an incredibly sheltered and jesus-bubbled SBC upbringing and my first couple of votes were for the (R) party because of all the horrible anti-abortion propaganda that was shown to me from 13 and onwards, and the constant drumbeat of fear from the GOP and the religious right.

Guns and gun rights have ALWAYS been the shibboleth of the modern republican party.

How is that?  Are you telling me the people you vote for do exactly what you want, all the time? Or do you vote for what you feel is best, and work on convincing them they need to further their progress towards the additional goals you feel are important?  Because I’m pretty sure that’s how it works. I’m not happy there’s zero compromise on easy to implement issues like safe storage, magazine limits, and other simple shit (binary triggers, suppressors).
 

Your view is I should drop every other concern I have with the other party, put them in full and complete power, so that they can make these small changes that we might see progress in a decade or two?  After the 20m+ ARs and hundreds of millions of handguns have been slowly nitpicked to nothing (hint: full control won’t stop with mag size limits and background checks, see 1000% tax I linked).

No, you should drop the GQP / GOP because they have no platform at all other than do nothing. Then when they have control, they do nothing to help the common American. But, you won’t listen to anything or anyone that can legitimately prove that to you.

Odd phrasing. So pretty much any 9mm or greater handgun, as they are military weapon (9mm and .45). The 5.56 (which is one of several cartridges in the scary AR, but most popular so assuming that’s what you’re asking) is the one everyone is focusing on.  Every Varmint rifle (hunting) I have has more power and lethality.  Every deer rifle (hunting) I have has more power and lethality.  Every bench gun (target) I have is more powerful and lethal.   
 

Public spaces? I’m mostly ok with that. I don’t conceal carry. I’m good with continued CC but with even greater classes and background check (it’s not all that rigorous now)

No you stupid fucking ditch digger. My view is that if you ACTUALLY gave a shit about implementing the "easy issues" you'd fucking taking some meaningful action to realize that goal. You'd call your representatives and ask for that legislation, and vote in primaries for candidates that are more moderate. But no instead you waive your critical thinking to blindly support whatever extreme candidate the GQP has brought, or you neglect your civic duty and withold your vote.

You're doing that doublespeak thing again by the way. You're taking my statements to their extreme to build a strawman that isn't supported by my posts, and then attacking me for having such an outrageous position.

It sort of gives up the game that you're just looking to culture war and not actually engage with any ideas. You've already decided that there's nothing that can be said to change your mind because you clearly aren't reading what's being discussed in this thread.

This is rife with rationalizations, distorted characterizations of others' posts, and a small-minded view of what's wrong with the GOP.

Rationalization for voting for the party of child murder, plague, and insurrection: They do other stuff that's okay. You don't name them. 

Distortion: "Your view is I should drop every other concern I have with the other party, put them in full and complete power." The only party close to being in full and complete power is your own. They're working hard to cement the deal through any means possible. You are likely projecting this will to absolute power from the actions of your own party. Posters are not in love with the idea of a Dem regime that's unopposed. They see the Dems, correctly, as the only party showing any concern whatsoever about the republic and it's citizens. Name the policies of the GOP that benefit the general population or preserve our democratic institutions. 

Small minded view of GOP: You want to argue issues which you do poorly. You want to hold onto whatever illusory principles you were convinced that the GOP stood for. You will not stand up, look in the mirror, and consider that your support has put the nation on a disastrous path.

Many on here are ex-GOPs who realized the GOP was not about lowered taxes, controlled spending, and government restraint. I admire their ability to reassess and make the hard read. Your small mindedness is in clinging to sad, unreal ideals while ignoring that your party supported an insurrection. Your party blocks investigation into the insurrection. Your party is best represented by Mitch McConnel (consumate power seeker) and Donald Trump, consumate liar, thief, assaulter of women, and con man. Your party has a great many believers in the Q-Anon hoax and that the colored people are the real problem with the US. 

The elephant in the room is not just the symbol of the GOP; it's the fact that nobody in the GOP wants to deal with the fact that their party is on track to destroy the republic.

How do they do that? They respond like this to Mathew M's poignant observation that a child could only be identified by the green shoes with a heart on the toe after being torn about by high velocity military rounds.

 

They just don't won't fucking look. I'm usually pretty emotionally detached from these slaughters. This one with the child victims calling for help on their phones as the police dawdle outside is too much for my restraint. The presentation of Abbott afterwards outraged me. His offering up prayers in Uvalde makes me feel murderous myself.

If you can't see all this for what it is, you are indeed part of the problem. Your vote may as well be a bullet or the hand taking money aimed at fighting Covid or providing mental health. Your party's brand is cruelty. You endorse it.

Shame on you.

Rand has a nice synthesis of high quality research on the topic broadly, and includes as assessment of the impact of the AWB.  They rate the findings wrt the AWB inconclusive.

https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR2000/RR2088-1/RAND_RR2088-1.pdf

 

 

Scientific evidence on gun policies' effects is modest but supports a few conclusions

Of more than 200 combinations of policies and outcomes, surprisingly few have been the subject of methodologically rigorous investigation. Notably, research into five of the examined outcomes is either unavailable or almost entirely inconclusive, and three of these five outcomes represent issues of particular concern to gun owners or gun industry stakeholders.

Available evidence supports the conclusion that child-access prevention laws, or safe storage laws, reduce self-inflicted fatal or nonfatal firearm injuries, including unintentional and intentional self-injuries, among youth.

There is supportive evidence that stand-your-ground laws are associated with increases in firearm homicides and moderate evidence that they increase the total number of homicides.

There is moderate evidence that state laws prohibiting gun ownership by individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders decrease total and firearm-related intimate partner homicides.

There is moderate evidence that waiting periods reduce firearm suicides and total homicides and limited evidence that they reduce total suicides and firearm homicides.

No studies meeting the authors' inclusion criteria have examined the effects of gun-free zones, laws allowing armed staff in kindergarten through grade 12 schools, or required reporting of lost or stolen firearms.

 

 

 

[jimmyjazz 46,000]

Other studies differ.  Some of it came down to things like # fatalities per event, etc.  I mean, no shit, Las Vegas, but the data are not wholly inconclusive.

It wasn't a sweeping ban, either.  It had little hope of anything but a modest effect, which it did.

One more thing:  for all the 2A experts I hear from on a daily basis, it seems they sure have a problem acknowledging the fact that, over and over again, the courts have indicated that various actions like the assault weapons ban are NOT unconstitutional.  I mean, when Scalia says it, you have to wonder how solid one's differing position is.

But 4473 violations are severely under prosecuted.  Motherfuckers that lie during the background check process should be prosecuted and put in jail for a long time. 

This is pathetic. Even for you.

The question I have for hardcore 2A folks is simple: If you could only choose one, would you rather a) defend unfettered gun rights with effectively ZERO restrictions, which is the current position, or b) watch your child grow up instead of being murdered in a classroom?  Because it happened to someone's kids, not yours, doesn't mean it can't.
