I don’t normally turn to Vice for news, but this is too good to skip.

Washington Is Banning Assault Rifles and Left-Wing Gun Owners Are Scared

“This is also the worst time to unilaterally disarm a population of left-minded individuals,” George said. “These next five or 10 years might decide the fate of America, and when the music stops and the next January 6 happens and we’re all scrambling to find a chair, I’m worried that the fascists will be the ones with all the guns.”
