So in spite of my advice, the WH apparently this month will go hard for gun control (while the topic is still fresh in the public's mind) and then tackle comprehensive immigration reform.

Of course I wonder, are the Demcorats hoping for the NRA and its allies to overreach in their overreaction to minor measures like banning assualt weapons and closing some Brady Bill loopholes? I mean saying stuff like assault weapons no more deadly than credit cards and banning them would be just like Jim Crow, does any of that sound sane to an average person?
