(6,185 posts)Even with Bloomberg footing all their bills, they still can't get anything done.
They have spent so much of their time demonizing the "Evil NRA" and creating personal memes (fewer gun owners all the time; 90% agree with us; epidemic of school mass shootings; there are no background checks; gun show loophole, et. al.), they totally missed the millions of dedicated new gun owners they helped create each year by demanding bans, a new AWB, local regulation etc.
Funny, the one thing they do have a clear constitutional path to try is repeal of the 2nd. But bring it up or suggest they start circulating petitions and they all kind of fade away then come back with another laughable meme; "Well, we just need one more SCOTUS justice to make the right decision".
They know damn well if they tried to repeal, they'd get laughed out of court and every state legislature where they tried it. I don't even want to guess at how many seats it would cost and how long we'd be out of any kind of power in DC if they did.
Ultimately they are guilty of the worst thing any group (or candidate) can do ... believing their own press releases.
