The next time the Rs go into full Slippery Slope mode at the mere mention of any commonsensical and truly effective gun safety measure, they have a brand-new tool in their kit to wield on that front if they choose to, and I really hope they avail themselves of it, though I doubt they will, since they aren't that stupid…

"You think the Ds won't come even harder for your guns if we don't stick to ours and end up giving even an inch on gun control? You think Slippery Slopes don't exist? Here! Look right here at what we're doing and where we're going post Dobbs. This is just what they look like. A *national* ban on abortions, 'cause we can't and won't leave it up to the states, 'cause we can't get 'em *all* to see everything exactly our way, and 'cause we know better than anyone on this! So, if *we* can - and will - put on the skis, you know damned well those evil Ds will do the same when it comes to your God given right to kill anyone you want with any weapon of your choosing anytime you want, just like they do with abortions."
Yeah, just let these authoritarian ass hats go ahead and keep waxing their skis and passin' out the litmus tests on the abortion issue on a national level. Let's see where that gets 'em. Hopefully to a place where they dearly, dearly wish they'd been a little more satisfied and stuck to their guns on "It's up to the states to decide."
