  When the war on alcohol happened, they had all the experts and stories proving it is evil. When the war on drugs happened, they had all the experts and stories proving it was evil. Now we have the war on guns, and people believe they have all the experts and stories proving it is evil. Every time we think we're righteous, and a generation later we find that we just made the problem worse. That we are without knowing it religiously practicing puritan beliefs. License and registration of firearms was meant to be the fair regulation. The same as license and registration of narcotics now. But the zealotry drummed up by fear has tried to yet again pull a Ronald Reagan move of "just ban it". Causing the inverse.

  Oh boy. Can’t wait to see the gun “experts” chime in here with this type of article on Hacker News for something that states already passed.

  I don’t know why gun control advocates keep using the same strategy they’ve been for the last 15 years. 25 out of 50 states have passed some form of constitutional carry. Florida will officially make it a majority of the states. Every year gun control loses more ground, on average, outside of a few places like Massachusetts, New York, and California (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Right_to_Carry,_timeline.gif https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Right_to_Carry,_time...) Gun ownership skyrocketed drug COVID and brought a ton of politically diverse people into the hobby. IMO it’s a losing issue and if politicians want to keep winning votes from moderates they would do best to distance themselves from it.
