Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Never gonna happen. And with all these armed fascists running around it shouldn't until they don't exist anymore and even then I'm skeptical.
My question was meant literally. I'm not asking what guns laws should be, nor how likely any new legislation is. I'm asking for a thought-out answer on what it would take nationally for a similar ban.
For this conversation to be had nationally I think a minimum of 3/4 of the population will have to have long term faith in the Government to be fair and just. Then theyd also have to have complete faith that enemies foreign and domestic (think criminals, terrorists, violent nations) won't use these weapons against them. That's what I think at least, but idk I'm just a dude.
