Out of all the battles Republicans have taken on against Dems the past few years this one looks like an easy winner for them.

They pretty much lost the other ones.

One thing to consider :
Dems won the gay rights, abortion and birth control fights (with most US voters, obviously not all states) because they portrayed those as ‘individual rights’ that Republicans want to take away from them(US voters) .
Agree or disagree that is how they won them nationally.

So Republicans got an easy job beating Dems in a public relations fight over Americans ‘individual rights’ to own firearms and protect themselves.

Having (Senate) bills die because the House doesn’t take them up isn’t a big deal because O convinced Americans that the GOP just wants to obstruct,

But kill them in the Senate and it is a huge failure for O and Reid. And personally, I am long ready to see that happen.

Hard to see how even the spineless Republicans could lose the gun issue.
