Team Obama has made it clear they intend to attack gun rights. I am concerned that if we stop paying attention for a second they will be back at it. For now, this issue is not going away in the democratic party, it is just on the back burner.

Divide and conquer. Concentrate your fire. Old strategies that still work.

If you as an individual simultaneously work to fix banks, multi-nation corporations, fundies,a lack of human rights and campaign finance. You will not do much on any one of them. You simply don't have the resources to be effective on so many fronts. If you try to, they have applied to you "divide and conquer".

So, concentrate your fire seems like a good way to counter divide and conquer. A few years ago I picked my issues of guns and the environment. I may shift some of my energy from guns to the environment for now. But just some.

BTW, if it is a dead horse, it has only been a dead horse for some weeks or months.
