Adam Winkler at The Daily Beast writes, “Did the Assault-Weapons Ban Kill Gun Control?<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0Gun-control advocates will no doubt mourn the demise of Feinstein\u2019s<\/a> assault-weapons proposal. \u00a0Yet, they may soon be asking if the proposal lived too long\u2014just long enough to dash hopes of enacting any meaningful reform … There was one certain impact of proposing to ban the sale of assault weapons: it was guaranteed to stir gun-rights proponents to action …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exactly. \u00a0It is reasonable to assume that the Democrats took a look at Gov. Cuomo’s huge drop in the polls<\/a> and concluded a similar backlash would be in store for them if they went along with DiFi. \u00a0So in his rush to be #1, Cuomo<\/a> screwed the pooch for the antis nationwide.<\/p>\n
