While I agree with that in theory, it does not do much good in practice. Party affiliation is very important. The majority party controls committee chairmanships, and therefore controls what agend will be brought forward.
Hrm, somewhat true. But, notice the current prevailing attitude amongst the fed Dems towards the 2A? They may not love the 2A, but they're not poking at it. The Dems were the first ones the meaningfully respond to the AG's AWB idea, pretty universally rejecting it. Dems passed this measure. It's not perfect, but so far, we've done ok
We have the stick part down pretty decent. 2A groups are pretty organized and 2A individuals don't have a problem swarming whoever threatens us. The amazing thing about Zumbo was how first the entire thing went down. Fear is good. Very good. But you have to offer a carrot occasionally if you are thinking long term. That means tossing a couple of bucks or votes to pro 2A dems.
If you remain solely loyal to Repubs, they will (as they have) give you the HK treatment. If you want to be effective and you want politicians to stay bought, you want bribe the politcians based on actual results.
The worst situation we have for freedom is when one party (Rep or Dem) control all facets of government.
Absolutely!
