Do they really think we're going to give up?

30. This has nothing to do with the political opposition's intelligence…

And everything to do with the fact that when democrats and other left wing types in favor of gun control, don't get what they want on this issue, they start throwing temper tantrums and calling people names. Not exactly the behavior I'd like to see coming from my fellow dems/lefties on any issue.

You don't like the outcome, figure out how to achieve your goals some other way. But tossing insults and calling all people against tighter gun restrictions idiots, or as I'm increasingly seeing "tea-bagger scum" (etc etc). Doesn't help, it only enrages you and makes you feel incapable of effecting Amy change.

The big problem here is like the previous poster to you mentioned: with democratic leaders openly advocating for an end to civilian gun ownership, as Feinstein has done, and with hypocrites like schumer wanting concealed carry for privileged folks like himself, but not for ordinary citizens. With people like that in your corner, people with ostensibly very great power and influence over public policy, I can't say that I blame gun owners for freaking out.
