They are doing what they have done time and again.

They start out with a bunch of ridiculous demands, then agree to compromise and only ban a little. This way the so-called pro gun congress critters can say they voted against the gun ban and only let the bans through they had to allow. "It was vote to ban those assault rifles or let them ban all semi-auto's."

Of course in a real compromise each side gives up something. In the congress a compromise on gun control means the controllers don't give up anything. They just don't get all their demands. After a few more "compromises" they do have all their goals met.

Frankly, I don't see any way to avoid it at this point. The momentum is far too big. Indoctrination of kids, California and Illinois forging ahead with massive bans, and now this. The direction here is clear, and it seems truly unstoppable. Maybe delayable. But in my lifetime, I fully expect to see well-near everything banned (I'm 27).

It is seriously depressing.

Okay, I want all gun-grabbers strung up with piano wire. Maybe I'll settle for lifetime exile to Gitmo. See? We're not so difficult to work with.
