I didn’t say it was? However, if we currently had stricter gun control who do you think the current administration would be attempting to utilize those laws to prosecute?
If we had a fair legal system and our political leaders weren’t literal fascist, I would absolutely advocate for strict gun control. That’s just not the political landscape we currently inhabit.
If those laws were present today, you would have the ATF hunting down every brown person with a gun and right winged chuds would be free to keep their massive arsenals, ensuring that christo-fascist maintain an absolute monopoly on violence.
The original comment I responded to was “let’s not act like a gun control zealot is what the US “left” needs right now”. Right now, we don’t have those stricter gun control laws, so your theoretical universe with the slippery slope is irrelevant. This is a race for NY Mayor, and Mamdani is exactly what we need right now.
