"Nominally, as the GOP has control of both houses, they should be able to push through some sort of reasonable gun control."
Obama and the Dems controlled both the House and Senate during his first two years. I guess gun control wasn't high are their agenda. 
Ummm - it is the job of the SCOTUS to interpret the 2nd Amendment as well as all constitutional matters. Because YOU don't agree with their rulings is a far cry from your ridiculous "bought and paid for" speculation. 
If you want  to get a dose of constitutional "scholars" you should read the comments in these forums. It's amazing how foreigners who know the least have the most to say - quite comical.
