It has been often stated that Barack Obama was the best gun salesman in the history of the United States. His war on legal gun ownership spurred the sale of tens of millions of guns during his years in office. The lead up to this 2020 election has seen new peaks in gun sales driven by panic over social unrest and the threat of democrats retaking control of the white house.
I have a California perspective of Harris who I believe will take control of the oval office in less than 1 year as Joe's health declines precipitously. Harris is extremely hostile to private gun owners and many gun owners who voted for her ticket are in for buyers remorse. As attorney General, Harris implemented a rule that mandated microstamping on new guns sold in the state to allow cases to be linked to weapons. To be approved, new guns have to imprint identifying information on a fired case that is easy to defeat but hard for makers to implement on a production line. Fortunately, there are still "grandfathered" models that can be made and sold as long as there are no changes to the design but the list of available models continues to decline and manufacture model lines change or the makers fail to pay the renewal fees. No more new Colt autos for our civilian market. Most Smith and Wesson's, gone. Ruger autos, nope! How about EAA? Nope, they didn't pay to stay on the approved list. We are down to some Springfield, Armscore, Kimber and CZ autos as well as a few oddballs like the firestorm from Argentina and revolvers. New Ruger 22s... outlawed. Only some models of Buckmark and high end S&W 41s can be bought new as semi auto 22 pistols. Glock 44?? Dream on! For rifles, really only the featureless versions of the Mini 14 and M1A are still available that don't require some funny work around like the "bullet button 2" which requires you to open the receiver to reload or paddles bolted onto the pistol grip to prevent you from grasping an AR or AK correctly remain legal. Even those have been targeted as semi auto rifles with detachable magazines as state democrats have attempted to broaden the scope of restricted weapons to include semi auto firearms with detachable magazines that are sometimes vilified as "weapons of war that have no place on our streets".
By hook or by crook measures sold to the nation as "reasonable" gun control safety measures like "smart gun" technology and "microstamping" will be forced on the public nationally to undermine the availability of new guns to the market. The experiment has been successful here in California with the courts failing to rule in a manner consistent with the second amendment. With fewer guns available, there are fewer guns to collect and fewer choices for new gun owners as used guns cannot be imported from out of state that don't meet the requirements. While featureless semi auto rifles are still being sold, the burden to law abiding citizens is extreme but has been upheld by those favoring gun control as "common sense" no matter how absurd and ineffective the restrictions have been.
The plan to restrict sales and register all guns is firmly in place for California. Confiscation is but one door knock away for anyone when even more restrictive measures are implemented such as the confiscation of legally owned semi automatic rifles promised by Joe Biden. Semi auto rifles in one breath will become all semi autos with detachable magazines in the next. While Australian or Canadian style gun control were once thought to be a pipe dreams of the American democrat party, the chances of gun control legislation finding its way into bills about health care, stimulus or the "Green New Deal" are more likely now than at any time in our nations history.
