Before we start talking about the left-wing hissy fit unfolding in the House of Representatives, you need to keep something in mind. This is an election year. Democrats need four things:
They need to further their 100 year old agenda of banning guns.
They need to blame guns for their failure to deal with radical Islam.
They need a 2016 wedge issue.
They need - desperately - a massive pile of the political cash they claim to hate.
