The point is the NYT editorial, which affects all gun owners, keith. It's neither lulling or celebrating, only noting the president is hurting the gun lobby. The Times has provided a signal service, an alert to the shooting fraternity, that approval for gun control is rising across the country, whatever the swoops in NRA membership. I would have thought you would have been among the first to make the call to action, to circle the wagons, and not leave it to your neighbour.
