Compromise requires that both parties relinquish something. If your counterpart’s position is “give me this now, and I’ll take the rest later,” there is no real compromise to be had. Nicely put. There is nothing "common-sense" or "sensible" about any of this legislation. Gun prohibitionists do not deal in good faith and need to be treated as the liars and manipulators that they are.

And that is why there is no percentage in being ‘pragmatic’ or ‘reaching across the aisle’. When you are dealing with people who are intent on eventually defeating you, your only option is to defeat them.

Gun prohibitionists do not deal in good faith and need to be treated as the liars and manipulators that they are.That applies to liberal 'dealings' of all kinds - from immigration to taxes - and gun control to food control... always an agenda - always lies.
