Gun Control & RKBA

The people who want gun control won't stop with a few measures. They Will demand more and more as has been their wont and record. The most powerful lobbies, and frankly most people, realize this and will likely oppose most any finite measure. The immediate problem for controllers is how to break away from the banners and to propose limited actions which will not be tainted by the old-line extremists. This is critical for their own future viability.

More long-range is the need to fundamentally question the need for some outlook which focuses on instrumentality (guns) as a means to "solve" some sloppily-defined problem(s). This whole controversy really outlines how weak are the prospects of progressive liberal politics and policies, that the lion's share of discussion boils down to gun laws. This would be ludicrous on its face.
