The NRA isn’t going to end this. What this is boiling down to is an irreconcilable difference between peoples of this country. Those for freedom and the protections and affirmations accorded to all under the US Constitutions and those that think the feelgoodism of liberalism that only seeks to control all aspects of everyones’ lives.
If they want, those liberals can browbeat their representatives into capitulating to ‘feelgoodism’ and take away all their guns. Only, when they try to expand this in a Federal manner that affects thoses states that still have sane citizens who value freedom, they will reap the whirlwind of true internal war.
Just because you can threaten, browbeat, wrongfully shame and stupidly give away YOUR freedom, doesn’t mean the rest of this country is going to accept it. Come and take them.

You've nailed it, Gaffer.
One of the stupidest things President You Didn't Build That has ever done was squander a huge portion of his political capital on leftist extremist so-called "gun control." The "gun control" laws being hotly debated are nothing but an expression of hatred for:
• The Second Amendment.
• All of us who believe "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" means exactly what it says.
Expressing hatred does, indeed, fire up the Democratic [sic] party's base; concurrently, it has driven sales of firearms and ammunition to levels that couldn't even be imagined five years ago, and solidified resistance to YDBT, the Democratic [sic] party, and Marxism in general. NRA membership has topped 5 million. Millions of Americans now have concealed carry permits. There's no such thing as ammunition on gun shop shelves in many parts of the country, and modern sporting semi-automatic rifles are on back-order from coast to coast. Even Illinois, the last bastion of hatred of the idea that citizens have an intrinsic human right to defend our lives, is under federal court order to stop infringing the Second Amendment.
I don't doubt representatives of the Democratic [sic] party in the Senate will launch another attempt to pass "gun control" laws; I also don't doubt they'll go exactly nowhere in the House of Representatives, and drive more gun and ammunition sales, NRA membership, and additional resistance to leftist extremist hatred.
Blind hatred never sees very far ahead.
