It's funny that a major reason not to overturn RoevWade is the number of women that would die in back alley abortions. And what would happen if they tried to confiscate guns?

No, it's the slow boiling from, passive-aggressive attack on gun rights. Remember, by far most of the Progressive-Collectivist people shouting about guns really don't care- they are just virtue signaling. Spend money, risk their lives, doing something meaningful about guns is not in their tool box of things to do.
