Gun Control & RKBA

(6,185 posts)I guess in gun control world, there is no such thing as self reflection and "post game" win/loss analysis.
Instead they seem to double down with snark, insult and ignorance. No real thought to; "OK, we lost, what can we do and how do we build a more effective infrastructure?" They just don't seem to be self aware or even terribly bright about this. But to them it's more a of a moral crusade then a legal issue.
On top of that they have no real "skin in the game" with Bloomberg and the Joyce Foundation picking up the check for every loss.
Their latest loss in DC to Stephen Halbrook is a good example. Halbrook, like Alan Gura is now 4 for 4 in 2nd amendment cases.
Instead of recognizing their over reaching fails like DC, they insist on trying to win with a grand slam every time they get an at bat. No thought of trying to get a basic law passed that has some gun owner support, like UBC or allowing public access to NICS. "Gun owners are evil and the enemy", but also the eventual key to getting anything done.
Every time they insist on going for the fences with every case they get their mitts on, adding on Feinstein's latest flavor of AWB, National Registration of all semi autos, magazine restrictions et. al.
Time and again they wind up with a big, fat whiff. They just seem incapable of learning anything other than trying to silence any and all dissent.
