I have been saying that they’ll do this for months, this has been their plan the entire time…

You know you’re cooked when even liberal voters are recognizing that this confiscation program is an egregious failure, and that it doesn’t address the real cause of gun violence. I’m just praying that they don’t try to weasel they’re way out of this mess by declaring the ~30k guns seized a success, and moving on like they didn’t just make hundreds of thousands, if not millions of gun owners criminals overnight…
