Yep, that's what I've been saying. Its how they do business when they can't get their stuff rammed through...they still put it out there and then when/if it fails, put out the "compromise". Because now the other side HAS to give in because if they don't they aren't "reasonable". And who doesn't want to be seen as "reasonable", right? Why, only crazies and extremists and those who WANT little children to die, blah, blah, blah.Jumping Frog wrote:So now I see it is the familiar playbook, used by Feinstein and others: put a bill out there that is very draconian and cannot pass, asking for the whole enchilada. Now "compromise" for only half of the enchildada.

Prozanski and Burdick said they expected to move forward with four bills dealing with the gun issue. They would:
--Ban guns in the Capitol. Under the measure, Prozanski said, those with a concealed handgun license could still bring a gun into the building with the permission of the legislative administrator or law enforcement.
--Expand background checks to also cover private sales and transfers between individuals. There would be an exemption for sales or transfers between immediate family members.
--Ban concealed handgun licensees from carrying guns onto school grounds. However school districts would be able to opt out of the ban under the measure.
--Require live-fire training to obtain a concealed handgun license. Prozanski said most courses for the license already require this training.
By the way, read the article: here is an example where open carriers will cause everyone to lose the right to carry in the Oregon Capital. Concealed carriers will pay the price for the open carriers disturbing the sheep and upsetting the Ruling Class.
These two out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" encompass what they are doing with this stuff. Scare our side into thinking they will, or might, get an AWB passed...then when they can't, yank it back and put out the lesser stuff that still nets them a "win".
* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
