Oh this is going to Le Epic Trigger the right.
---

sure. it should be even harder than that, actually.
---

I don't wanna read all that but is there anything in there about giving them your info and then immediately changing your passwords once you get the gun(s)?
---

No problem with that. The fewer guns in the hands of right wing extremists, the better.

In NYC it takes nine months to a year for them to process applications.
---

The real intent behind this is to stop millenials from owning guns. Also, those who are too poor to have a Facebook and thus can't hand over any passwords.

If somebody is right wing they should have already left NYC a long long long time ago

I wonder if you're also a fan of the TSA.

Hopefully we can get our second amendment rights back now that we have intelligent, patriotic justices on the court. The left has been attacking our freedoms for years.

So, in order to get a gun, I have to share my rule 34 of 101 Dalmatians? I guess that means I won't be purchasing a gun then.

<_<

This doesnt go far enough. We need to give up our private information/passwords to unlock our first amendment rights as well.

thats fucking stupid
---

There's no way this will pass. Hopefully it gets slaughtered by the Supreme Court. It's a brazen invasion of privacy and suppression of rights.

lol how do these people manage to get away with proposing shit like this without being ostracized???
---

God this is going to be so awkward.

"What's your username and password?"

"Erm... 5h00tupdaschool316 and Ihat3wh0resandj3ws"

"Great, everything seems to be in order. Here's your AR-15 and 500 30-round magazines"

how do they know what accounts you even have? this is not enforceable

It's New York, brazen invasion of privacy and suppression of rights is par for the course.

This is useless. I mean they just have to drive to another state
---

not to mention even for a top secret security clearance I did not have to give up any login information

Ok so just temporarily deactivate your account the day before you apply. That way you're not lying when you say you don't have an active social media account. Or just fucking lie about it, it's not like it's really that hard.

How do you think I feel with all of my gun rule 34

They gon think I'm some sort of gun sodomizer
---

Some bills are intended more to be seen than to be passed.
---

Can't you deny having social media accounts, and clear your history? Lots of people regularly delete history... in fact, aren't some browsers built with that feature to auto clear?

And they won't be allowed to own a gun.

You see this on issues across the board; a legislator wants to establish their bonafides on an issue, and so they write up a bill that wouldn't hold up to legal challenge or actual implementation, but garners some publicity for them and signals to the base that "hey, I'm with you on this." A lot of the more restrictive or punitive abortion bills that pop up from time to time are examples of this, or all the times the GOP repealed Obamacare pre-Trump.

Wasn't there a stunt bill in like, Arizona, from a woman that would have made ED drugs subject to similar restrictions as birth control or abortions?

At any rate, it's good politics.

Good. Let the cynicism flow through you.

And then people see that the far left politicians would legislate a gun ban if they could. Which pushes people away from agreeing to any compromises, since they know that deep down the leftists will just keep finding ways to keep chipping away at the 2nd Amendment over the long run.

there was one in texas where it would require a proctology exam, and someone pushed a bill that would require a permission slip from your wife.

I would rather not own a gun than let people go through my browsing history

Clearing your history just removes it from your PC. Your browsing history never gets deleted unless you're using an actual VPN (& even then nothing truly gets deleted)

All conservatives should have their guns taken away and those guns should be given to liberals free of charge.
