Gun Control Reform Activism

But that's not a reason to give up fighting.

Remember, every single specific gun control law that the president proposed polls well over 50%, including the assault weapons ban. In fact, there are a lot of measures that aren't even under discussion (e.g. licensing and registration) which also poll over 50%. The public is on our side, even though the special interest money is not.

One thing that, I hate to admit, the right-wing does better is playing long-term politics. A lot of right-wing ideas start out in think-tanks and then push them and push them and push them until they find an opportunity to get them into law. This is not the only or the last chance to get sensible gun laws passed. If Bloomberg really steps up to the plate and provides a counterweight to the NRA, than a lot of things are possible.
