Recreational shooters sent Emanuel a message in 1994, and he probably got the message as the Democrats didn't mount another major gun control push after that. If we do not fall to complacency we can push back when the liberal left tries to cash a check for their votes. Obama would be a little crazy to accommodate them anyhow, they would endanger his coalition and have nowhere else to go.

it would be a mistake to rest on those laurels. the republicans in congress rested on their 1994 laurels and look where they are now.

I implore you to let go your bitterness as it does not become your positive nature. If you allow our adversaries to control your emotions, then you give them mastery over your very soul; you fall into the trap of ultimately becoming what you oppose and lose the best attributes that comprise your very essence. As I've come to know you, I have grown confident in your ability to see the good in any situation and your tenacity in conquering adversity, qualities that I admire very much in my friends. Difficult as the challenges ahead may be, the steepest mountains to be climbed do not originate from without, but from within. I am confident that you are worthy of these challenges and can overcome them, and offer a hand in friendship that we may walk this rocky path together and refuse to allow our adversaries to defeat our spirits. If your strength should falter, I will gladly offer a portion of my own, as I am doing now. Our incarceration will be difficult, but short; our victory will be hard-fought, but glorious. We will rise from the ashes of defeat and persevere to destiny. Die Wahrheit macht frei.

Hence my words on becoming complacent. Self-government is the American experiment, and we must participate in the next four years.

I do think that Obama would make a mistake by accommodating the liberal left on gun control, and it would be the same mistake that McCain made accommodating the conservative right on abortion. I expect a centrist government from Obama for the most part, but will be watching for leftist initiatives that need a rightist opposition.
