Bump for the commentator with uncommon common sense.

1. It is a curiosity that with all of the media bias on the gun issue noted by Lott, the Democrats have not materially changed either the public perception that the Second Amendment is basically OK or the legislative/electoral outcome (witness even MN putting through concealed carry.)

Can we assume then that the controllers...
"Those that control public opinion run this nation."
...are not comprised of the elite media on this issue?

2. I find this post encouraging in that the elites are now bucking a measurable headwind of internet-informed folks (a minority, clearly), talk-radio informed folks (also still a minority) and an administration in DC which is anathema to the Left (but hardly a 'Constitutional' administration). The confluence of these factors is apparently diminishing the elite media considerably - along with their own internal diseases, e.g. the Jayson Blair effect.

3. Democrats waiting until 'the issue is ripe' betray the fact that they are merely an opportunistic infection of the body politic. They are praying for the economy to tank, a gun disaster larger than Columbine, etc. That will be their lever to push opinion their way. The bigger the calamity, the bigger the lever. Goebbels would love it. Absent a calamity, they are in deep weeds. Even Hillary Regina will prove unmarketable and unelectable if this continues. (I pray).
