I don't give a damn which party is in charge, they're all being fed by the lawyers and we're all paying the price for it but lets be at least somewhat honest.

Not relevant, show me the effort despite whether or not they're in the perfect situation. I'm not holding them to results, I'm holding them to effort. Words are uselss, they mean nothing. Actions, even actions that are met with enough resistance to counter them, that shows what someone is made of, what they support and what they believe.
The anti's toss the same anti-gun legislation up every year, regardless of their standing in the house/senate/presidency, they're no worse off for it (in fact, they get a lot of press coverage in the MSM DUE to it).
The Republicans act like there's a $1 fee for every word written in a bill that goes nowhere. Show me how many Republicans really WANT gun control repealed as it occurs against the common citizen...get over it, the 2A, for MOST Republicans (state and federal), is just lip service to get you to wave your pom-poms and vote for them, nothing more.
