This is both a good and a bad thing. It's good that they understand that at the national/federal level they are in a losing position. Unfortunately, the downside to that is they are now working at the city/state level. This requires much more vigilence on our part to stay abreast of their tactics. They're mostly concerned with shall-issue concealed carry in those states that still don't have it.
Fortunately, the other upside to this is that there may not be any movement to restore the 94 AW ban. If those Al Queda sons of bitches pull off another attack on US soil, which I highly doubt they will given the shitstorm on capitol hill that would cause, there would be no more support for gun control, as even the most anti-gun person understands that when you're in the crosshairs of a madman, only the ability to fight back can save you.
