Gun Control & RKBA

(18,318 posts)We had an anti-gun president, Richard Nixon. We had a Democratically-controlled Congress, a rather liberal federal judiciary, and a time when MSM cock-strutted the culture and the NRA was essentially a Fudd Organization.
It didn't happen.
Even these banners knew they would never be able to effectively run a prohibition on the most popular self-defense firearm -- by far -- in our country. They moved on to other bans, like the infamous "assault weapons ban," which was like "putting out the fire with gasoline (D. Bowie)," and pushed that family of weapons into the most popular center-fire weapon in the country.
Your assumption that a ban can be effected (legally and in fact) is grossly in error. Again, define the problem, see what has worked, then propose plausible solutions.
BTW, you can ask Hillary all day, but the instrumentality which she will respond to is the remnants of MSM. And MSM is always in for gun-control of ANY sort (another way of saying bans), and it manifestly does NOT WANT Sanders for more reasons than guns.
