There is a solution to the looming loss of gun rights, but it's going to be a new kind of fight.

When anti-gunners can pack Washington with a march so long it extends over the horizon, we've got a problem.

The superstar students are, in my wild guesses, feeding off frustration with being told what to do by an establishment that has presented them a world with flaws. America isn't perfect, but what they're missing is it's the closest to perfect on planet Earth, particularly if you restrict your view of America to the remaining enclaves of the original dream. Texas, for example, or Arizona, and they aren't perfect. We have Sheila Jackson Lee, Arizona has Giffords.

With the utter certainty of inexperience, Hogg and others are able to preach absolutes. Politicians don't offer anything unwavering, but they are always power vampires. They will want to tap the energy that brought so many to Washington.

The winner will be determined by whether the NRA has more stalwart supporters, or Giffords has more shills.

And maybe that means we've lost the greater battle which guns represent. The tyranny of the majority is already at play. That is incompatible with a nation ruled by law, not whim.
