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?
