Next winter, we need to focus on more achievable advances. And this November, the odds are good we'll have to campaign against a ballot initiative on college campus carry.
Agree that the chances of a new bill advancing are slim to nil, but it's not because we will not take the Senate. The Senate will have a GOP majority in January, that I am certain, but the House is what I am unsure about. For all the outrage that has been expressed about the background check law and the magazine capacity limitation, unless the demographics of the Denver Metro area have changed significantly since last election, those same voters that leaned liberal last time will do so again this time.

I hate to be a pessimist but that is how I see this, there are simply too many voters that lean towards the anti-gun politicians. And the sad thing is it's got nothing to do with the position of those politicians on guns, but more about their positions on other social programs.

The bottom line is if they are pushing an agenda of more free stuff and benefits, then more people are going to vote for them. The average voter is simply too misinformed and too lazy to do their own research to make an informed decision in the ballot box, and they rely on a 30 second commercial on TV to make their decisions, regardless of how truthful those commercials really are.
