Ya, I don't think this is step one of some secret society agenda to ultimately ban guns, but I understand why both sides fight over what is really a small piece of real estate, it's all about future momentum. But I do get the sense the pro-control side is more about "more regulations" than "assault weapon ban". And I think they'll always be for "more regulations" regardless of where we are (though they're not always going to have success).
