They pull stunts like this every so often, and it’s self-defeatist.

Politically pragmatic. It won't have the slightest effect on anything, but it allows congress to pretend they are doing something. The NRA is throwing them a bone in the hopes they can cash in this favor at some time in the future.

Right now every screeching Liberal in Media (which means everybody in media) is demanding congress take some action. Doing this will have no real effect, other than allowing congress to claim it "did something."

I don’t dismiss your thoughts completely. I get your point. I don’t think it plays out in a good way.

Isn’t this how incrementalism works? We give up this here, something else next week, another thing next month, and a few more things next year...

Petty soon, the Left arrives at the point they always wanted.

We gain NOTHING.
