They've obviously become more organized with the media and Bloomberg's money behind them. Still, we shall see how this turns out in 2014.

unfortunately they have learned from their mistakes and are incrementalising their steps.  


I would rather them go for Fienstienesk big push or even worse so that we can just mitigate their influence.

"The goal of the 'liberals'—as it emerges from the record of the past decades—was to smuggle this country into welfare statism by means of single, concrete, specific measures, enlarging the power of the government a step at a time, never permitting these steps to be summed up into principles, never permitting their direction to be identified or the basic issue to be named. Thus statism was to come, not by vote or by violence, but by slow rot..." | Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal



Published in 1966.  Their  strategy is  not unknown, it's just hard to stop when they focus on enabling the vote of the welfare state population.

Yes they did get smart.  They have three major proposals right now; AWB, Std cap mags and universal background checks.  But they are really using the first two to find a compromise on the third.  So called universal background checks is NOT expanded NICS.  There is a new DATABASE and every single weapon transfer must be recorded including to your kids.  There is a fee aka tax on every single weapon.  There is no just fill out the form and show your CHL, that will no longer be good to go.  Please call or write everyone and say NO on universal background checks.

Interesting read to see how the snake in the grass has shed his skin, again.  Thanks OP.

This is the time to capitalize on the resurgence of growth on our side to bring the moderates in and show them the magician's secrets.

Yeap, all former gun control advocates are now fervent 2nd amendment advocates. Heller changed the landscape. This is the entire Obama approach BTW- the  "I'm one of you but there's one small problem with our position that I strongly feel needs to be addressed..." approach.
