We are WINNING even though the loudmouths of the NRA are drowing that out [View all]

The reason recent polls are saying the issue is dying down after peaking is, one that any person with any brains at all can easily see why-

The NRA is blabbering all over the place in all 50 states and they are giving their perception.
So short term, they have all the publicity in place.

However, in reality, they are losing big time, long term, and soon to be gone forever
(soon being a relative term as its been 100s of years on their side of the megaphone).

The haters of those wanting to end the insanity are saying they are failing.
They are saying Bloomberg and the 800 mayors against guns are failing
They are robocalling (what gall) the parents in CT

They are rubbing it in

however,

a war is a long term thing
a battle is instant gratification

The NRA reminds me of the episode of Gilligan's Island, (remember?) where a foreign soldier
still thinks WW2 is going on all those years later and didn't hear the war ended.

The NRA is dead. Don't give up hope, because one candidate one district one state at a time will lead to one new SCOTUS and a reinterpretation of the issue,
at which point anything else is irrelevant, once the 2nd is properly interpretated to reflect what it really meant, which of course, the current reading did not.

(Or should all private citizens arm themselves with surface to air shoulder missiles? I think not.
