Agreed. Just read where Feinstein the commie witch from Cali wants to try for an amendment to the Constitution.Don't get lulled into complacency by these false claims. They will use any means available. In this case, Child Services were involved, with the threat of removing the child if warrantless search was not permitted!
This battle for gun rights is far from done! Don't think for a minute the communists will stop until ALL our firearms are relinquished!

To move the window towards "less free" , you wait for an event that is traumatic enough that the public is willing to give up some freedom in exchange for feeling safe. Then you make deliberately overreaching proposals that you know will not be acceptable. When those get shot down, you have a fallback position that seems "reasonable" when compared to the extreme proposals that were rejected. Previously they would have been outside the window, but between the traumatic event, and your extreme proposals, you have moved the window far enough that they are now in the window.The Overton window is a political theory that describes as a narrow "window" the range of ideas that the public will find acceptable, and that states that the political viability of an idea is defined primarily by this rather than by politicians' individual preferences. It is named for its originator, Joseph P. Overton, a former vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. At any given moment, the “window” includes a range of policies considered politically acceptable in the current climate of public opinion, which a politician can recommend without being considered too extreme to gain or keep public office.
Overton assigned a spectrum of “more free” and “less free”, with regard to government intervention, oriented vertically on an axis. When the window moves or expands along this axis, an idea at a given location may become more or less politically acceptable as the window moves relative to it.
