The unfortunate thing though, is they eventually will.. by doing just what you mention. and it will be accepted because, 'that's how its always been'. 
There are a handful of 'squeaky wheels' actually out there getting things done in their favor, and not enough 2A proponents. True we have sites like OFF, but they can only do so much.. they need more people being way more active than they are now. Sitting behind a computer complaining on websites don't accomplish much. We have to get out there and VOTE OUT these people writing these bogus bills.
