Strassel: The Real Gun-Control Consensus - WSJ

The next time you hear a fellow American bemoaning the lack of Washington bipartisanship, tell him to cheer up. There is one issue on which Congress still resoundingly agrees: gun rights. Bear that in mind, too, the next time you read a story about the "new" political debate over gun control.
An almost cosmic disconnect has been building in the political sphere since the tragedy of Sandy Hook. On the one side is the gun-control community, which sniffed a rare political opening and is determined to use it to the max. Vice President Joe Biden's gun-violence task force has given that community a vehicle for its ambitions, even as it has encouraged it to ramp up its demands.

Absolutely!
I wish I could stick to my Congressman like burrs. These loons are part of the problem.

That is an interesting article and the WSJ is one of the more reliable sources for straight scoop.
BUT!
Deep down inside, my spidey sense is telling me that the bigger the obstacle, the more we can expect end-aroind schemes, EOs, backroom deals, blackmail, and certainly another mass shooting incident that will fan the flames. I think that this administration is going for broke on this one.
A minority of the citizens supported obamacare.
A minority of the citizens supported TARP.
A minority of the citizens support more gun laws.
The current economic conditions do not need much support to keep it going on the present course. The government has no intention of correcting anything. This is part of the plan and is pretty much setup the way they want it. Economic failure will further the marxist agenda.
The disarming of America is the goal. This is the most important objective right now. Their takeover cannot be accomplished as long as we are armed.
