So, then why are they pushing this like full-tilt maniacs?
Obfuscation.
Benghazi is out of the news.
Fast and Furious is out of the news.
The economy is out of the news.
The deficit and debt are out of the news.
The Obama corruption machine is out of the news (this is a catchall, but by this time you get the drift).
This gun legislation signifies nothing, but is an effective smoke screen for everything else.
I agree. That, and they will use their ultimate non-action to motivate idiots in the NE cities 2 & 4 years from now to vote against Republican gun-loving rednecks.
