6. What'll they do? They'll go back to laughing at gun control groups

Because all you do is talk and whine while they organize, lobby legislators, attend town halls and pay dues out of their own pocket to support what they believe in. How much of your own money and time have you put into gun control?

No gun control infrastructure to achieve legislative objectives. Weak judicial representation. No real grass roots support

All your gun control eggs are in the basket of a racist 1%er that pays all the bills and has a track record for losing Dem seats in elections.

That's why nobody has to take gun control seriously. You can't get anything done in the courts or in the legislatures.

But let me guess, you're another one that suddenly loves the Bush/Cheney Secret Terrah No Fly Watch list and wants it to be used to stop any firearm purchase? (Even though it has no due process and senior ACLU people and the senior editorial staff from Mother Jones on it.
