I think folks should remain calm and keep the faith.
Ask Democrats how well Gun Control as a national issue worked for the Clinton Administration?
It is not conducive to accomplishing their broader political agenda.
Wednesday's policy reversal is not a step in the right direction, but it's a long, long way from any 'done deal' regarding gun control in the U.S. I certainly do not trust the Obama Administration, but considering the other things they have working right now (health care reform, immigration reform, the economy, the jobs bill, impending bankruptcy of Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security, 2 wars overseas, the imminent nuclearization of Iran, the international nuclear security summit in April, not to mention some critical elections occurring in November, etc. etc.) taking up the banner of gun control in the U.S. seems a bit unhelpful...
JMHO. YMMV.
