Gun Control Reform Activism
Showing Original Post only (View all)Do they really think we're going to give up? [View all]
With the demise of the supposed compromise gun control legislative package, there is substantial noise that our cause for the moment is defeated: "Gun control forces seek new path after big loss" - http://news.yahoo.com/gun-control-forces-seek-path-big-loss-152516059.html - So my question to you is this: Does the NRA wing-nut cabal really think they've won?

There are new calls for citizen action by Obama on this gun control now. Not giving up.

Gun control action isn't a "shiny object" or "pandering." Go shit on gun control posts elsewhere.

I am not "hypersensitive," I am simply stating the obvious. Enough with the personal attacks.

No, the NRA, and the pro gun side fully expects the fight to continue indefinitely

The problem lies, to a large extent, in the NRA's near total control of the pro-gun-rights "voice."
