BBC asks what’s next for gun control in the US<\/a><\/p>\n

The United States has just passed a gun control bill. It doesn\u2019t do all that much, though it\u2019s still an infringement on our right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

However, for many, it\u2019s nothing but a first step, a good start toward still more regulations imposing on our right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

Over at the BBC, they ask<\/p>\n

what\u2019s next for gun control here in the US<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month, US President Joe Biden signed a landmark gun-control bill into law.<\/p>\n

While the legislation, which was passed with bipartisan support, has many limits, it was a step in America\u2019s efforts to tackle escalating gun violence. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court issued a decision that cast the future of more strict limits on gun ownership in doubt.<\/p>\n

So where does gun control go from here? Here\u2019s a look at some solutions that gun-control advocates and gun-rights proponents say could help stop escalating gun violence \u2013 and our North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher assesses their chances.<\/p>\n

The future of red flag laws<\/p>\n

Red flag laws, also known as Extreme Risk Protection Orders, allow police to temporarily seize legally owned guns from people who a judge has ruled to be a danger to themselves or others.<\/p>\n

A judge\u2019s emergency order can be issued even in cases where a gun owner has no criminal record or history of mental illness.<\/p>\n

Opponents say this violates the right to due process, as the orders can be issued by a judge without the subject present to object.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They go on to bring up things like assault weapon bans, gun buybacks, new rules for younger gun buyers, and a bunch of other things.<\/p>\n

Now, in fairness, they also mention arming teachers and hardening schools as well, but not until the very end and even then, the story drips with bias and disdain.<\/p>\n

However, all of this ignores the political realities gun control measures face here in the United States.<\/p>\n

In other words, it\u2019s easy for the BBC to ask what\u2019s next, but the truth is that the Biden administration has gotten all they\u2019re going to get. You know the gun control side asked for much more, but what they got was the totality of what they were going to get. There\u2019s nothing left on the table.<\/p>\n

Even Sen. John Cornyn, who sold us out, has said there\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0nothing more that will be done<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So while the BBC can ponder the future of gun control, it\u2019s nothing more than journalistic navel-gazing. It\u2019s an exercise in what might have been and nothing else, because we\u2019re not interested in giving up more ground and the gun control side is\u00a0only\u00a0interested in gun control. They don\u2019t care about kids, they care about taking away our rights.<\/p>\n

If they were, they\u2019d at least be open to hardening schools. The fact that they\u2019re not tells you they don\u2019t care about dead kids, they care about taking away your guns.<\/p>\n

The BBC can ask the question all they want, but we all know the real answer here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
