The anti-gun crowd doesn't want "compromise." They want confiscation and control.

In April, the Senate rejected the Toomey-Manchin gun control proposal. In the wake of its defeat many asked why gun owners and their organizations resisted so limited a measure. Granted, it would have had little but symbolic benefit. Its core was to require background checks at gun shows (which Bureau of Justice Statistics concluded involved a whole 0.8 percent of crime guns) and on Internet gun sales (a miniscule proportion, most of which probably go through licensed dealers anyway). But why not accept something so modest, in light of the draconian ideas then being floated as alternatives?

That NRA video is an eye opener. Shared both links on Facebook and damn if I care if I lose friends. That Brit has it right. If you stay silent you lose any hope of keeping your rights. I've been quiet for too long and dealt with too many liberal, Dem, holistic, hippy friggin' posts to care what they think anymore.
