Most gunnies have no issue with good background checks. The biggest reason for pushback at even reasonable gun laws, is "what is next?"
It was explained that there is an inherent distrust of the motive for new legislation, as it is a stepping stone for a move toward a ban.
Exactly, Hitler didn’t come into power one day and started exterminating jews the next.
Indiana never used to have a seatbelt law, period. Don’t like em, didn’t have to wear it.
Then they passed a law due to the threat of funds being cut off from the feds.
First only front seat passengers in cars had to wear em, then front and back seat passengers in cars only, then it was everybody including all passengers in pick up trucks.
Personally I won’t drive without mine on, December 29th of 2013 we were in England visiting relatives on the wife’s side. Her cousin just picked us up from Luton airport as we spent several days in Scotland at a lodge on Loch Ness. On the way back to her cousins a silly little chickie pulled right out in front of us and we T boned her at 55mph. We all had our seatbelt’s on and walked away, they didn’t have theirs on and she was thrown out of the car and did a face plant in the road, all three were air lifted to the nearest trauma center. Both cars were totaled, hers spun like a top right off the road and into a ditch.
Then not 10 months later on Sep 23 the wife and I were stopped behind somebody else on the state highway we live on not 5 miles from home. Sun was in our eyes and the guy that came up behind us never seen our brake lights so he never hit his brakes. Rear ended us at 55MPH, almost sent us into the guy ahead of us, but since I already had my wheels turned to the left to go around the fool that was ahead of us wiping the inside of his windshield off we shot across the road, almost went down into the ditch and back then ended up in front of the guy that actually caused the whole thing. Both had our seatbelt on for that one as well, we walked away, guy that hit us didn’t have his seatbelt on but his airbag went off, still managed to put his knee thru the dashboard, he didn’t walk away.
I wear my seat belt but that doesn’t mean I like the ideal of being forced to wear my seatbelt. Seatbelt save lives, no doubt, but they don’t
prevent accidents.
Back on track, residents of Indiana would have raised holy hell if the full law went into effect immediately, instead they took baby steps so the sheeple wouldn’t be alarmed.
