Gun Control & RKBA

When gun rights folks meet pro-lots-more-control folks halfway, one side (the pro-more-control side) doesn't get as much as they want, but they do get something, and the pro-rights side simply loses and gets nothing.
Oh, did I say the pro-rights side gets nothing? That's not entirely accurate. The pro-rights side does get the peace of mind knowing that the pro-lots-more-control side will be back next session to repeat the exercise, and they'll most likely asking for more next time, if history is any indicator (and it is).
As has been done session after session for decades, and the no-more-compromise attitudes of so many on the pro-rights side can be laid at the feet of that business model, as much as anything else, IMO.
Doing business that way, is over.
