ODNT, while I whole heartedly agree with you, there are unfortunately others in a position of power that don't.
Sit back folks and enjoy the ever vise-like grip of gun control to squeeze incrementally tighter and tighter:

It seems they have come up with a way to make things happen that don't involve the Legislature. Wouldn't it be awesome if we actually had some representatives in our government that would stand up to bureaucrats dictating law and its definitions?

It would be - but any hopes of that happening in America evaporated when Mr Roarke and Tattoo went off the air during the Reagan administration.

Within the states, results are consistently drawn on partisan lines.

. HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Resuming a long fight over local gun laws, Pennsylvania's House of Representatives is approving veto-destined legislation to help gun owners and gun-rights organizations force cities to repeal firearms restrictions.

An estimated 300,000 US gun purchases were blocked by background checks last year, with 42% due to prior felony convictions.
Forty million guns were purchased legally in 2020.

Well, oh Esteemed 40th Armor alum from West Berlin, that kinda looks like 'their' system works & the result is something once called "disparity of force."

Cuomo declares state of emergency over New York gun violence

Wholly Horseshit Batman... " Emergency Declarations" how very autocratic of the failed party state of New York.
My sympathy and outrage are only metered by the fact that I've come around to the belief that if the people within the state or metropolitan areas do not reject and oust a tyrant or failed system then they have the government which they deserve.
New York
Detroit
Chicago
Baltimore
Kalifornia
San Francisco

I wish they would open their eyes and see that they are now living in a failed system so to speak in their cities/states. They never do and they just go through life with blinders on because they cannot see, or fail to see the true tyrants they elect into office. Emergency Declarations from a system that an authoritarian official created, so Stasi of them.

Another important case fails to gain any publicity.
I haven’t read the whole thing (141 pages), but apparently the 4th Circuit struck down federal restrictions on 18-20 year olds purchasing handguns.

I'm confident that when the Department of Just Us goes for the full circuit review it will get some traction in the newsrooms of the usual suspects.

Therein lies the problem. Can anyone actually define " failed system" ??
If you spent your entire life supporting people and causes that prescribe to the Cloward-Piven strategy, it is not a failed system at all.
The system is working exactly the way it was designed.
If you dont care about anything but your free government money check - the fact that businesses can't find people to work isn't a failure.
- Yo tengo la mía mother fuckers !!
If you want to force social change at all costs, who really gives a fuck if a few thousand people end up starving and homeless?
There is a reaosn that violent criminals rome the streets. There is a reason that criminals were released form jail in droves during a pandemic that was going to kill all but 99% of mankind...
...so the government could scare you into compliance.
The 'Great Leap Forward' led to the deaths of TENS OF MILLIONS of people. As people met their tragic fates, the government in power continued to beat the drum that it was all the fault of their political opposition. It was all because of failed implementation secondary to the opposition of those that didn't want to cooperate.
It will all be different "this time"
...and here we are.
What's happening in America is NOT a failure of the system, it is a design feature of the system.
Once more for the cheap seats: Its not a fault, its a feature.
Get used to it.

Do we have too? I guess it comes down to is do we want to go with the status flow or change the direction of that flow. I don't have the answer, I guess a temp solution is to get out of those cities/locations since they are too far gone.
