44 AMP,

About as well said as could be said. The only other thing I would add is that I think the public perception is encapsulated in one sense concerning FA. THe public puts FA in a whole other category psychologically. What I mean is that fear and loathing of FA does not necessarily transfer to other firearms unless/until the Bradys start trying to equate them as they did with the AWB thru appearance. That, however, is a fight we CAN win in public opinion but it requires effort. IMO the public draws the bright line with FA and so their fear will not necessarily transfer to say shotguns or handguns.
