    I just wish Dems would stop trying to ban any guns, and not because I’m against gun control, but because it’s a losing issue. It’s never passing through this Congress, and if it ever did, the Supreme Court would strike it down. Given that that’s fairly undeniable, why lose the people who organize and vote on this issue alone?

      it’s a losing issue. It’s never passing through this Congress, and if it ever did, the Supreme Court would strike it down.

      You know, that’s exactly what people said about Roe v. Wade and about banning abortion.

      Turns out that you can keep losing on an issue for 50 years, yet winning only once will drastically change the trajectory of the entire issue.
