I've said it before... pull a Bush move.

Make the bill, shove it through Congress and then seek approval after the fact. Label it "it helps against terror" and people will rush to support it.

On the other side of the this, I personally would love it if the people with such an emotional investment in this whole ordeal honestly would say not what they're up against, but what they would rather happen.

They can still buy guns, they can still say stupid things, they still can march, and they still can complain ad nauseum. And they say rights are taken away from them?
