Small proportion of them.You have no idea how many vets I've seen who are essentially anti-2A. The gun-grabbers just love to parade them out and spout that "you don't need 'weapons of war'" bullshit.
They are also idiots

She still has a show?TBS’s Sam Bee Just Says It: I ‘Want to Take your Guns’
Samantha Bee recently admitted she lets politics invade her “comedy.” It’s the worst kept secret in Hollywood, a rule that virtually every mainstream comic follows in our deeply divided culture.www.newsbusters.org
The mask has been falling more and more lately.

As update/nudge to folks here--since in storied speed-of-ATF-bullshit fashion it took two weeks to actually publish the new rule for comment when it should've taken, like, an hour...For those willing to take a few moments
Makes sense. Even if you aren't particularly pro-2A Chipman is an objectively horrible candidate for the position. Which is why he'll definitely get the slot because its the fucking ATF.Twenty State Attorney Generals have signed a letter opposing Bidens nominee to head the ATF, a fellow by the name of David Chipman.
Of course it is; after all, who ever heard of a day care center that lets kids play around with pepper spray?That's literally the case on the local university campus.
California's Assault Weapons Ban has been shot down as unconstitutional. Granted it's going to get appealed to the 9th circuit right away but it's still a step forward. Granted I suspect the most likely course here is, this is passed, the 9th overturns it because 9th, then the Supreme Court decides not to hear the appeal to them and we're back to square one.
BREAKING: FPC Wins “Assault Weapon” Lawsuit in Historic Victory for Second Amendment Rights
Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that Judge Roger T. Benitez of the Southern District of California has issued an opinion in Miller v. Bonta (previously Miller v. Becerra), holding that California’s tyrannical ban on so-called “assault weapons” is unconstitutional under the...www.firearmspolicy.org
His logic is good and reasonable and I hope it goes somewhere, I just doubt it will. It has to get past the 9th circuit which is highly unlikely given their bias. This is the circuit that ruled that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" didn't apply outside the private home and there was no right to carry in any public location in March of this year.Reading the decision, the judge's logic seems very strong. To try and boil it down, his core point was that cali's AWB ban just arbitrary banned features for no reason, and more dammingly, that cali has maintained this policy for 30 years with increasing restrictions despite its constant failure to reach its goals. He also pointed out that the fundamental problem was that the a gun's lethality is largely determined by it's caliber and magazine size, not if it has a pistol grip or not.
However, aside from point about cali policy failing for 30 years, there were two really big points of note.
The first was a refutation of the "weapon of war" talking point when the judge cited the testimony of a retired army officer discussing the AR-15 as a militia weapon, which it earned praise for. But the officer praised it because it's easy to maintain and repair and is a flexible weapons platform, not because a semi auto rifle in 5.56 is a particularly lethal weapon.
His second big point was the actual logic of the evil features ban. Pistol grips and the like do makes guns easier to wield, though not significantly so. However, they do not make them easier to wield for criminal purposes then they do lawful ones, so cali's laws effectively punish everyone in the name of hurting criminals, which isn't how laws are supposed to work. Criminals can use cough syrup to make meth, so states responded by limiting how much you can buy at once, which meant citizens could have as much as they needed while criminals couldn't stock up as easily.
The California method would be to declare cough syrup a medicine of war because soldiers use a different brand of it, ban anyone from buying it in normal bottles, and instead you have to get a license to buy tiny little doses that are stored in containers that are intentionally uncomfortable and difficult to open.
