So, no thoughts on the subject?
Agreed. IANAL, so have no idea how to evaluate on the merits, and leave it to much smarter posters here.
As a 50 year news reader, and independent thinker, with an honest newspaper man in my family, I would suggest the patterns of the Narrative and money lining up to promote more, that show that "its now or never", for the Progressives "to push through the resistance". The ideologues and the money men behind them aren't going to abandon the 40 year march thru institutions; academia, the press, civil service unions, Congress and the lower courts appointments, to get here, and not achieve gun control on their terms.
There is a sort of blindness to the facts among the Progressive Elite, in the echo chambers of DC, NYC, San Fran, etc- those who have been drinking their own bathwater so long, they know longer know what is real, except what they say is real. Others who do know better, are completely cynical and mendacious- the Ayers, Podestas, Blumenthals, and their Masters, including "those whose name must not be spoken."
No one paying attention can doubt that there is a very large and coordinated "under the radar" gun control effort underway, that is multi-pronged-effort.
1. Bogus fact manufacturing: Bloombergs spending $50M money at Johns Hopkins, to endow a public health initiative headed by Teret, on his own personal mission to ban guns. Harvard releases a bogus study, that even the godfather of gun stats at UC Davis flatly admits is flawed, and how many other places are funded by places like Joyce, etc. Lets not forget our Surgeon General, former head of Drs for Obama, calling for research, and Bloombergs Soda Czar, Mr Ebola at CDC. The bought and paid for "scientists" are still holding out at NASA, IPCC, UN and calling everyone an evil terrorist who questions methodology, much less conclusions. Do you think money wont buy researchers and results?
2. We dont even need to talk about the press and all the various sock puppet faux .orgs, that have been sprouted for years under Center for American Progress shells and networks. Next up is manufacturing memes, and truths because enough people say its so, it must be so. Just follow the money. In addition to Bloomberg and his latest ridiculous Al Jazheera hires, and all the various PR firms around the country donating and helping the Fake Moms and Towns, he's also buying journolistas through Columbia and Dart how to write gun propaganda seminars.
3. Follow the money. SAF called it- the stealth UBC via paid for signatures on citizen propositions. In addition to Gates and Balmer, and Silicon Valley smart gun prize guy Nick Hanaer, you've got Tom Steyer, who's private LLC gave the MOST money last cycle to progressive pols. We dont need to talk about the proven older players, Joyce Foundation in ThugTown, Ford, and too many more to mention, spending money on grants and programs, for all the fakey community groups that take orders to go march or protest LGS, and so forth. Call it SEIU, distributed.
Don't doubt for a minute the "we dont care about gun owners rights" spouting DC Council and Mayor "I hate guns" Muriel WONT take marching orders from The Man, even if it doesnt make legal sense to take the risk. Those pols have no choice but to double down to push through the resistance, and the Executive Action Ends Justify the Means proof is repeated over and over in progtard states and cities, CA, WA, CO, and you know the east coast better than anyone.
Remember, Obama "packed" the Second CA with his latest appointees, reportedly to be ready for ACA decision, earlier, and if you are a believer in KCs politics = odds game theory, then Wrenn will look ripe for action by judicial activists there.
If anything, this HAS to be appealed, for it to get to SCOTUS, in time for Obama to take credit, after trashing the Justices like he has in past. Back to the beginning- Progressivism v2.0 is all about the Narrative.
Without "War on Women" and "For the Children" to distract the yoga pants mommies, the whole thing falls apart, legacy wise, for the One,
and far more important- who's up to bat next? - the Security Moms have time to look at the huge security risk Obama and HRC have created in foreign policy...and thats the game ender for her, and the left democrats... do you see the Reliable Party Organs and embedded Journolistas pushing back now, in any serious way, other than some tap dancing to claim credibility? Are they telling the truth on Benghazi, Fast n Furious, or being dragged into it, bit by bit by folks like Judicial Watch, and Sharyl Atkisson?
