This is just a tease....we will be served up a few weeeks of ‘fierce debate’ in Washington, and finally our ruling class will come up with a compromise.

Our leaders will say ‘it does make anyone 100% happy, but its the best we can do, under the circumstances’, and they’ll have the votes.

And we’ll have national gun registration :(.

I hope I’m wrong. If you congress critter gives any indiction whatsoever that he’s going wobbly on this, blast him with e-mails.

I agree....we should all feel like the frog in the pot of water...pretty soon we won’t even notice the jack boots smashing the door down next door as long as we have “Tingles” and Opra to sooth our minds.

Nail on the head.
Compromise will include gun registration (with a hefty annual registration tax per firearm of course) and an insane magazine limit (7 rounds or less) that leaves out not only most modern sporting rifles but most semi-auto handguns.

Your post #4 is pretty much spot-on. The repubs never seem to disappoint in their ability to capitulate. If the dems wanted to kill 50% of the population, the repubs would get it down to only 25% and call it a major victory and a testament to the power of effective negotiation.
