The media and the folks in the middle are a fickle bunch. While most in the media have a pretty firm ideology, their "news" coverage flows like water through whatever hot topics are helping to flood or sink their politically-minded opposition (while not completely jumping the shark - they have to maintain some professional decorum).

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems the gun control topic is waning in the news cycle. Regardless, the important thing is to make sure the liberal/progressives lose ground and lose power, not us. They are the ones fighting for post-Constitutional rule and the continued infringement of rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Those rights stand in the way of their utopia.

Who is helped with the in-fighting and a circular firing squad squabbles we are now seeing? Bottom line - Reid has no reason to help get this through unless it would it help the dems politically...and I'm not seeing that (but repubs fighting over it do help the dems).

Maybe it's just me, but I don't want someone who has been adjudicated by a federal court to be a danger to themselves or others, or someone who has been in a federal court pleading guilty by reason of insanity....I don't want either OUT ON THE STREET AT ALL!!

The problem is this won't "head them off at the pass." They will just point out that this would not have prevented AZ, CO, or CT. They say they are for "common sense" legislation, but the anti crowd (and complicit media) are about using absolute standards. Since there is no way to absolutely stop tragic gun crimes, they won't stop until they have their absolute ban in place.

Can someone help me see how this proposed legislation would have prevented the AZ, CO, or CT shootings? Please connect the dots for me.

Weren't those events the impetus for this current desire for additional control legislation?
