Meaning that saying change is coming, no matter what, is defeatist.

I suppose you call it "realistic."

I call it propaganda for the anti side, personally; what else would one call statements that discourage pro-gun efforts and encorage the gun control crowd?

If your point was that we need to play aggressive politics in order to protect our rights, then your wording was not what you wanted.
