Once again, these laws don't actually solve the problems they purport to solve. Their regular and comprehensive failure leads me to conclude that no one actually cares if they work; their real intent must be something else.
Gun Control vs. the White House Correspondents Dinner
Just as an aside, the shooter who went up against several Federal police agencies at the White House Correspondents' Dinner was armed solely with firearms that comply with the strictest gun control laws in America. The pistol he carried is Maryland and California compliant. His main choice of weapon was a pump-action shotgun, which he explains that he loaded with buckshot thinking that might let him get past the body armored security without killing them (a rather dodgy plan, but let's leave that for the moment). It wasn't even a semi-automatic weapon; you can get pump action shotguns even in the UK with the right friends in high places paperwork.

I have probably said this here before-
My gut feeling is these laws are simply to exert a "Curley effect" on the conservative voters, so they move away. This happens in WA all the time- those folks moving to Idaho and Montana are not necessarily the classic leftists who voted for every progressive agenda, then moving from a fouled nest-
Many are conservatives who tried their best and got beat by mail-in voting.
I am torn- I live in the most beautiful place imaginable, on a nice piece of land, in a home my wife and I built with our own hands, and good neighbors.
Yet they push.
raven, I think that connects with what I am thinking. The intent is to culturally punish a sector of the populace, so that they know their place and don't think they can run things. With some softness at the boundaries of all the categories, these would be white, male, working class, and politically neutral or conservative. It is a playing field for cultural competition.
I was thinking of it nationally, but you alerted me to the possibility that it's almost as good to get them "out of HERE, where I live."
