The people who believe Manchin_toomey or any other gun control is common sense are likely lost causes, anyway.

The people who think they are, because the TV says they are, (and they don't know any different) might still be reached by reason.

Remember earlier in the administration when some cabinet level were making noises about more gun control, and were, essentially told to shut up by the white house (no doubt with a whispered "now is not the time"...)

When they can't dance in the blood of children crying "oh the horror", gun control is a political loser, and they know it. This does not stop the die hard "true believers" from pushing, but their traction is mostly limited to the faithful, absent a fresh tragedy, paraded before us 24/7.
