This lesson also hasn't been lost on Democrat congressmen, many of whom have their jobs because they either supported gun rights or showed little interest in gun control.
When he can no longer be punished by the voters for doing so, expect his grade with the Brady Bunch to soar.
He'll still need the help of Congress and those folks want to keep their jobs. I really don't think any strong gun control legislation will happen during Obama's administration. He may toss a symbolic bone over to the Brady folks, some toothless executive order, but that'll probably be all. I just don't think Congress is going to let him do more than that. I really hope I'm right on this one. So far, so good.
You mean those same folks who just rammed healthcare up our ashes, in spite of the opposition from their own constituients. Far more people would be in favor of gun control that were in favor of what the 'rats just did.
They do not fear the next election. Not quite sure why, although passage of an Amnesty with instant voter registration might be an explanation.
The Progressives are on roll, at least *they* seem to think so.
