Regarding making it an offence for businesses to promote violence in firearms marketing and sales: “Has anyone ever done this? Why not do something that will make a difference, like no ads on the internet, or no online sales?” [Edited for legibility because apparently Poly is fucking illiterate]

I'm preaching to the choir, but this is the most bald-faced example yet that they eventually want everything banned.

The next time they try to lie to you that they aren't after "sporting" or "hunting" guns, remember that they secretly lobbied to ban retailers from advertising or selling hunting rifles on the internet, because that would be the policy that would "make the difference" that they want to see.
