Things are more complex than they seem. I am certain Obama's election was very possible somehow because people obviously did not want to deal with the other side of the coin anymore. The majority, anyway.
There are probably more important things than our guns that the majority were considering when they cast the vote. Unfortunately, this allows other malicious thoughts to be proposed and they will make it through on the virtue of the momentum.
I have bought and renewed all memberships I believe will help maintain our rights. As always, money talks.
