Is the sit-in going to redound to the democrats' benefit? And the answer is: Foxnews is not

4. I agree with that point. I was thinking in more general terms, like:

non-gun loons actually seeing a real person like Debbie Dingell showing the fear and anguish of someone who thought she was going to DIE at the hands of some maniac....that sort of thing, if shown by the M$M, might have some sort of effect in the eventual enforcement of the 'well-regulated' part of the bill of rights that all the delusionists, from the NRA to right here at DU, seem to forget, are the most salient two words in the entire second amendment.

that said, what is going to be done about the 300+ million guns that are already out there is another thing. as has been absolutely ASSURED by those resident NRA absolutists here on DU, nothing less than a civil war will result when maniacs like Phil Gramm (more guns than I need, but less than I want) are some day forced to give up some of their hardware. there aren't any easy answers to this, obviously, but my guess is that, with increased enforcement/government intrusion into every aspect into the daily lives of all americans (via the terra/drug-war and resultant PATRIOT ACT laws) we're going to end up as a police state.
glad I'm not going to be around when it all hits the fan. it won't happen in the very near future, but with each act like Orlando, the day is getting closer, if today's Washington imbroglio has an effect on the public consciousness.
