I really don't think it was some scheme to allow the rich to have Tommy guns to lord over the poor. The rich have plenty of other ways to lord over the poors. Polos, Taycans, free strawberry slushies. Except that prior to the Bonus March, gun control was given paltry attention. The second session of the 73rd congress was the first time congress convened since the Bonus March and all of a sudden gun control bills were getting submitted right and left. 49 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: Not to mention that mere possession without registration was also illegal after the NFA so a simple shake down was all it would take to land a few goons in hot water as their guns were confiscated. Didn't even matter how they acquired them, without the stamp, they were coming off the streets. Bill knows this, but he already stepped in it by referring to an era where gun control actually worked and now he's forced to pretend it didn't because of classism or whatever insane point he thinks he's making. That's why he's completely ignoring the legal viability aspect despite it having been spoon-fed to him like a toddler. Or maybe he actually is that stupid and has been this whole time but we never noticed because he's been largely silent outside the Russia thread. Are there any other logical fallacies up your sleeve? The ad hominem is getting a little repetitive.

Are there any other logical fallacies up your sleeve? The ad hominem is getting a little repetitive. This whole thing started because you shifted the goal posts from 50 years ago to 100 years ago only to have it blow up in your face.

The second session of the 73rd congress was the first time congress convened since the Bonus March and all of a sudden gun control bills were getting submitted right and left. I'm not sure why you're connecting these events. The bonus march was largely unarmed and peaceful, and was mostly disbanded by the time MacArthur rolled in to dislodge the remaining. Two years separate this event and the passage of the NFA. There was even a smaller march in between which ended when Roosevelt offered the veterans jobs with one of his alphabet suit agencies for infrastructure building. The NFA impacted fully automatic firearms, sawed-off shotguns and silencers, specifically the sorts of weapons gangsters would frequently use and not weapons I'd expect veterans to be wielding - infantry rifles and similar. Not to mention that the NRA itself prior to the NFA was lobbying state governments to institute licensing for concealed carry and waiting periods for revolvers. Making the NFA out to be a reflective response by Congress out of fear of some kind of uprising among the poors really doesn't hold water.
February 19, 20241 yr Not to mention over 100 seats changed in the 1932 congressional election, along with the White House. Connecting the bonus march to the NFA makes no sense.
February 19, 20241 yr Back then you could get a fully automatic pretty easily. You can't do that now. You can get semi-automatics pretty easily though

March 12, 20241 yr Weird I would have thought the mass shooting of 8 school students in Philly, no less, would have generated a bump.

I actually didn't know anything about it. As @Kz! stated, it didn't get the national news coverage that most of these shootings get, for obvious reasons.

I mean that’s like a layer cake of federal felonies that’s ripe for prosecution, but the issue is that they tend to not. The Feds need to step up their prosecution game.
