Reading this piece at TPM and this piece at LGM, I can't help but wonder how much of GOP intransigence on guns is simply a reflex. There was a myth (and I do mean myth) that the 1994 midterms were because of Clinton's assault weapon ban. It was way more complicated than that.
I have to think that a truly rigorous background check, a waiting period and perhaps some limits on rate of fire could pass on the merits. The GOP will oppose them simply because they will oppose them, not out of rationality, but out of reflex.
