My nomination for best insight so far- by Speedy

[Lemon Drop]

I like the spirit but the analogy is off in terms of what is actually happening now. We don't have new gun control laws so there is nothing to fund or enforce, but we do have the PPACA, it's the law. I think it's really important that people consider that fact when weighing what each side is doing in this budget battle.

I can't think of any law that Democrats would hold the government hostage over without also damaging or alienating their own constituents.
