Yeah, okay, fine. But let's not treat this as a dramatic step forward.

It's barely a baby step.

Though it's the sort of thing the beltway press would praise as a dramatic breakthrough for bipartisanship or some other crock.

NRA opposes the deal, continues to be a joke.

Remember they nominally support background checks... Roll Eyes

I mean seriously, these guys don't actually give a crap about gun owners. The only people they actually strive to defend are gun sellers - and they want to make sure they are able to sell to any criminal.

So far as I've read, the deal also closes the gun show loophole, which I'm sure is what the NRA can't stand, and is also the best thing in this half-baby step. The NRA doesn't care about how many dead kids we have, so long as we keep selling more, more, more guns.
