Gun control hasn’t been a big issue during the 2025 election like it was in 2021. But it’s still important to assess the gun policies of the two parties leading in the polls.
As a gun owner I can say with certainty that the gun laws are already more than enough. Stricter laws would do nothing but punish law abiding citizens. We aren’t 'murica. The only guns allowed to the public are simple rifles with 5 round mags at most. Anybody hell bent on causing violence would either use a melee weapon or be breaking the law to obtain/hack an automatic weapon or pistol with increased capacity despite being restricted.
It’s a quick and easy way to sound ‘tough on crime’ for the average person who doesn’t know better but in reality the only thing they can do is stop smuggling at the US border and that is a matter of Border Patrol budgeting and staff, not more laws. With the orange doofus demanding stricter border controls this is going to happen regardless of who gets voted in.
Ya, I’m a lefty city dweller who also happens to be a gun owner. If you have gone through what it takes to get your license I believe most people will realize that the rules are fine.
Edit: pre the most recent liberal bans I mean. The total ban on handguns and specific scary black guns is quite ridiculous. I own an SKS and I’m just waiting for it to be banned.
Now I have also been to several ranges where I meet morons and start to question if they should own guns, but I’m not worried about them committing crimes, I’m just worried about accidents.
