They're Panicking

Despite the danger that they might succeed, I think that the mass of amendments added to that FL Senate bill yesterday that it's a panic induced reaction.

A hail Mary.

The mass was too much all at once.

Every gun grabber wet dream item was there.

Universal background checks, safe-storage, registration, AWB...

If they can't manage to make it stick now, there's a strong chance that they won't be able to get it done ever.

In short, they overplayed the hand.

They've lost the narrative.  People I know are asking, "where the fuck was the FBI?" and "what the Hell is a 'high school diversionary' program?" and "how many calls to the cops in how short a time?"

They're not talking about the gun he used, they're asking about the person who did the shooting and why the studious ignoring of all the warning signs and red flags.

We're still winning, but this is the analog to the Battle of the Bulge.

Have the courage to reply, "Nuts!" to their demand we surrender!
