The New Republic has doomed the NRA as Bloomberg will take down the progun candidates.
Alec Macgillis has been doing the talk show rounds with that article, and even other supporters of gun control aren't buying it. Joe Scarborough quipped that it was "editorial oversell" and that Macgillis just made it the cover story "so liberals could pick up this magazine and hug it."

The reality is that Bloomberg outspent the NRA almost 5-1 during the Great Shaming Game of 2013, and he still lost. The administration and gun-control politicians (seemingly) had the wind at their back, and they still lost. The word of the year is hubris.

Heck, our best strategy right now is to let them keep thinking they're on top and let them overreach.
