This whole thing has me thinking about the gun control episode of Bojack a lot.
The moment rich white guys felt threatened (by women in that case) guns were completely outlawed, and I think this is the closest we’ll ever get to that in real life. If a few more CEOs are knocked off I could see it being discussed. If 10 or 20 more are killed I think we would actually see severe restrictions put in place.
In the 1960s, the US government started cracking down on buying firearms. Bombings suddenly became rampant. In 1970, the US averaged more than a bombing a day. The government then tightened up restrictions on buying explosives further than they had for firearms, and Americans resigned themselves to going back to buying guns and shooting each other.
If the US government were to further restrict guns, people would notice that it’s easier to DIY a bomb than it is to DIY a gun, and that the former is also quite a bit more effective at making a point.
You can purchase everything you need to manufacture explosives in a supermarket.
This is literally what Reagan did as governor of California when Black Panthers were arming themselves.
2A is unassailable … until the wrong people decide to embrace it. Be one of those people.
