The Gun Lobby is Wounded
You Knew thus was coming and the tide is shifting to banning assault rifles in mass after 2020 elections that may give them the power to enact the Federal law.
President Trump's election/impeachment is just a side show and the majority vote was with the Democrats and Trump only won with the electoral college votes,I doubt it will ever happen again. The Democrats smell political blood and know the gun lobby is wounded. But the question is how are they going to do it without violence and starting a civil war?

The movement for tighter gun legislation has been revitalized, and supporting gun control is not the risk it once was.
A Fox News poll taken in August, after the killings in El Paso and Dayton, showed that two-thirds of Americans favor a ban on assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons. In a survey of likely 2020 voters, conducted earlier in the summer by the polling group GQR, more than one in four said that their views on guns had changed during the past five years, and, of those, seventy-eight per cent said that they had shifted toward stronger laws curbing guns. Asked if they would support a voluntary-buyback program of the kind that Australia instituted in 1996, encouraging people to give up their assault-style weapons, forty-two per cent of the likely voters said that they ?definitely? would, and twenty-nine per cent said they ?probably? would. Other polls have shown overwhelming support for universal background checks and gun-owner licensing.
Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited,? Scalia wrote. It is not ?a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.?

Then again the Republicans have lost control of the Printed Media / Hollywood / Main Stream Media/ Academia and over 50% of the internet so maybe they'll just whine a little louder. Google / Facebook / YouTube being the majors on the internet.
Says it all, well most of it anyway. He has other videos.

Executive Order 12333
https://epic.org/privacy/surveillance/12333/
Executive Order 12333 authorizes the collection of not only metadata, but of the actual communications of US citizens, so long as the communications are collected "incidentally." These communications can then be held for five years, as described by a document that the Director of National Intelligence recently declassified. The NSA has used Executive Order 12333 to justify, among other things, the interception of unencrypted data between Google and Yahoo data centers. None of the currently proposed reforms address the over-broad surveillance authorities established by Executive Order 12333. EPIC has long urged PCLOB to move beyond their Section 215 and Section 702 investigations and examine the scope of information under EO 12333 and the need for greater public oversight. As EPIC Advisory Board member Steven Aftergood has noted, "If they deviated from their own rules, how would it be discovered? I am not satisfied that they have an answer to that question."
Yeah like your a stupid ostrich with it's head in a hole thinking it's safe .Ain't never got anything to debate because you can't debate the subject.

This new technology will also play a key role in the battle network. With the capability of simultaneously linking millions of transceivers within a defined area, it will enable military personnel ? departments and individuals ? to transmit to one another, almost in real time, maps, photos and other information about the operation under way.
5G will also be extremely important for the secret services and special forces. It will enable control and espionnage systems which are far more efficient than those we use today. It will improve the lethality of killer drones and war robots by giving them the capacity of identifying, following and targeting people on the basis of * recognition and other characteristics. The 5G network, as a weapon of high-tech capacity, will also become the target for cyber-attacks and war actions carried out with new generation weapons.
