Almost gleefully proclaiming that any attempt by the Democratic Party to embrace any gun control measures, no matter how sensible, will only result in certain defeat for the entire party's electoral chances in the future, and that we ought to throw in the towel if we knew what is good for us.

I'm just glad that none of these people were advising Dr. King and others during the Civil Rights Era.
