Rather than just concede point by point to the antis, match them demand by demand with a list of our own. Compromise is where each side gives up something for the common good, so fat all our side has done is give. Time to start taking back our rights.
You are in denial and are not seeing reality.
Compromise is possible only when each side in a situation has roughly equal leverage. Then both sides work out how they can walk away with less than they want but more than they might otherwise have. That situation does not exist today, and it can't be faked.
Gun owners now have no leverage. They have demonstrated to everyone with a brain that they cannot be counted on as single-issue voters and that they will not support anyone who doesn't meet their impossible standards as "friends." So most of their partial and only friends are gone or weakened by lack of support, and those who remain would have to be idiots to believe that they can either count on gun owners to support them if they help or fear that gun owners will not support them if they don't.
Gun owners now have no credibility either. By not being a credible voting block, they have weakened the NRA as a credible spokesman for them. Read what they Brady Campaign says about the matter. They have whipped the NRA, which is no longer a force to be reckoned with.
The fatal flaw in taking an "All or nothing" position is that sooner or later you wind up with nothing and no way to negotiate anything at all. You've lost your bargaining chips. You can't compromise when you don't have chips.
In fact your strategy might be clever in an odd way. When you "demand" anything at all, there's a chance that some people on the other side might become incapacitated by a fit of uncontrollable laughter. Then you can steal their wallets and run like hell. It might work, but it's the only thing that stands a chance now.
This game is over. Gun owners threw it away. What happens next is unpredictable only in how it will be done and when. The festivities will begin in January, when the new Congress is seated, and the Democratic leadership will determine the dance card. You have the rest of November and all of December to store the memories that must last your lifetime. I think it would be foolish to buy anything more: in the near term it's likely to be so heavily taxed, regulated, or controlled that you won't be able to keep it. In the long run--perhaps only a matter of months--it will be banned, confiscated, or "bought back" for trivial sums as was done in Australia. Law Enforcement Officers should not expect to be exempt either. Anti-gun people don't like or trust them either and consider them a necessary evil. My guess is that LEOs won't be allowed to retain anything but departmental issued weapons, and those only under strict control by their departments.
By the way, it is not helpful for lunatics to make violent threats because they can't have their way. It scares the majority of the people, those of us who do not want nut cases to have weapons. Many of the anti-gun people already believe that gun owners are nuts. No good will come of reinforcing their beliefs. Those gun owners who are not insane don't like it either.
It will take a far more intelligent and inventive person than I to see a way out of this predictable mess. I don't see any way out at all. It was predictable and some of us warned repeatedly that it would surely happen if gun owners did not join together and vote the NRA recommendations, but that's the past and it can't be reclaimed.
I wonder what Canada's gun laws are like...hmmm better do some research.
