Ugh, if they delay important things like health care, copyright reform and the economy over gun reform, I'll be angry.

I mean, guns are a minor issue. Make them freely available, and some crime stats change somewhat. Completely ban them and do away with 2A, and some crime stats change somewhat, and destroy a relatively small industry. It's not a huge issue either way. Tiny compared to the overall economy, or overseas wars, or the drug war, health care, or copyright, or STEM education, or immigration reform.




Not to mention I just saw a timely political cartoon about the hot issue of gun reform - from 1881. I don't think it's going to get resolved.
