Perhaps you are correct. But I've often faulted the GOP for not taking the battles to the Dems and for letting the Dems control the agenda. As much as there are anti-gun legislators, there are some others in Red States who could cost themselves an election by voting against this bill or a similar one covering the Corps of Engineers property.
So I ask you - would you rather have the Legislature fight of the "Immigration Reform" bill that the Senate has passed or Senator Paul's attempt to cancel the post office gun ban? Senator Feinstien is waiting in the wings to bring up her assault weapons ban bill after the very next tragedy - and I'm convinced that there will eventually be one. I want the GOP to be as tenacious about bills that will help the 2nd Amendment cause. Under the right circumstances, it could actually pass.
Pass or not, standing on principle and righteousness is it's own reward.
