8. So why say convince them of something that you already knew they were doing?

Because they weren't 100 percent on board with every sub-section of every bill it means they aren't doing it? I assume that the vast majority of legislation at the state level involves a lot of give and take and horse trading so how is this action any different? I agree that the NRA is kicking and screaming as they get dragged into the 21st century and giving women equal footing, but even I have to give them credit for supporting the bills now.

When you get bogged down in this level of a purity test it's no wonder so little positive gains are made by anti-gunners. Interestingly enough, there is a form of government that not only routinely passes legislation without any compromises it also confiscates guns. Maybe the term 'lib' in your name doesn't mean what I think it means.
