As Mr O’Rourke continued to chastise the governor, another man on stage called him a “sick son of a b****” who would “come to a deal like this to make a political issue.”
Nothing in this country is ever political nor should it be :grillman:

I'd say most of America complies with gun control legislation and when they don't, they loophole it. Most of what I know of is in California and New York though, like the Mulford Act. The gun control act of 1968 also completely banned mail-order firearms, which is still in place and there's been no serious legal or public attempt to overturn it. Also FOPA in 1986 involved a whole lot of gun owners voluntarily registering their machine guns, registering some hundreds of thousands of them.
This isn't to say gun control legislation works or America should attempt more "draconian" gun laws. I just think Americans are by and large feckless cowards, especially the NRA libertarian types. Most gun owners here use them as toys and don't beef with the law. They're allowed to have guns because of their compliance, not because feds are afraid of them.
I own a pistol by the way, it's hopefully a deterrent against pigs and fascists
