At the state level, I think it's kind of not so clear what could happen, though i doubt they really want to piss off all the CPL holders and others who like guns.
At the federal level, it's pretty simple. Reagan, after beating the anti war counter culture into submission as well as destroying gun rights as the PRK governer, became president and banned machine guns. His VP, Bush sr went on to become president and sign the ban on Norinco's. Then we have Bush jr who steadfastly said he'd sign another homeland defense weapon ban if it came across his desk.
I'm pretty much right in line with Dr Todd in everything he said in this thread. I'm a leftist libertarian, but tend to vote straight libertarian. The last time I voted for a non libertarian in fact I was living in Arizona, and that was over 4 years ago now.
well, are state republicans introducing AWB, large cap mag ban, and universal BR checks? no. are state democrats? yes. how many state democrats supported SB59 last session? how many republicans? i think it's very clear that the MI GOP may not be in the business of advancing gun rights, but also isn't trying to limit them. i also think it's clear that state dems ARE interested in limiting them, and have no intentions to advance them. reagan and bush sr definitely sucked when it came to gun laws, but i would say that democrat clinton did much more damage than reagan & bush sr combined. also, bush jr said that knowing that the gop congress would never pass the bill, it was all politics for bush jr.
