The little, liberal, gun-grabbing weasels are running scared. Here's a copy of a MoveOn.org email a friend forwarded to me:

Dear MoveOn member,

This is the nightmare scenario:

"Reid guts Senate gun control bill."¹

"Tuesday's developments are a major win for the powerful National Rifle Association."²

"[Assault weapons] ban's chances of survival now are all but hopeless."³

"[A]nother major element of the president's gun policy proposal could be joining the assault weapons ban in the scrap heap."⁴

After months of promises that, in the wake of Newtown, this time would be different, congressional Democrats, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid, are on the verge of caving on the three most critical gun violence prevention proposals: universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, and a ban on high-capacity magazines.

What's looking most likely to end up in the final bill? A provision encouraging guns in schools.  (Emphasis theirs)

You just have to love it when the leftist fringe like MoveOn is wetting their pants because their big gun-grabbing opportunity, built on the graves of those poor child victims at Sandy Hook, has vanished into thin, Washington D.C. air, gaining them nothing. These people are beyond the point of ever being shamed by their ghoulish willingness to use the deaths of innocent children to further their left-wing causes. And of course the primary purpose of the email was to solicit donations.

The term, "Beneath contempt," comes to mind.
