"...Proponents knew that all but a small percentage of crimes involving firearms were committed with guns that wouldn't fall under the ban..."

This sentence is written so poorly that I had to
read it several times and parse it just to figure
out what the author was trying to say.

I think the author gives too much credit to the NRA.

I also think the author mistates what the socialist believe about this issue.
In fact, the socialists do not see this as THEIR failure or as THEIR mistake.
They do not see this as a 'failure of their beliefs',
they see it as a 'failure of the voter' to accept their beliefs.
There is a BIG difference.
They feel they were successful in yet another step in their incrementalism.
In their minds the assault weapons ban might have been a tactical error,
but it has not changed the objective, only the methodology.

"They do not see this as a 'failure of their beliefs',
they see it as a 'failure off the voter' to accept their beliefs."

I agree, and that we should all know that just as passionate as we are about freedom, they are passionate about socialism. It is a constant battle to educate(brainwash?) voters for what we believe is right, just as they do for their beliefs.

Sadly, facts don't seem to matter to them, as socialism causes complete econonic colapse everywhere it is implimented. If everone is "entititled" to the benifits of society, why work?

I'm the hire/fire guy, and my view of the unemployed work force here in So. Cal. is of lots of unskilled, unmotivated, entitlement minded liberal non-thinkers pretending to look for work, while really just looking for the easiest paycheck they can find,no thought to advancement or a career.

When I worked for a large corporation, 80% of the workers were total goof-offs, while maybe 10% kicked butt, and the other 10% were on-again-off-again contributers to the task.

That being my impression of the blue collar work force here in So. Cal., it is easy to see why they are voting for the socialists' agenda.
