Don't think this is a victory for the 2nd Amendment

I am sure that many 2nd Amendment supporters will be over the moon at hearing the news below. But we need to be cynical and realize that, while the progressives did not score the hoped for touch down or even a first down, they have moved the ball one or two yards up the field. These insidious people are all about the end result, so if they do not score quickly they will continue to chip away until they get into field goal range.
Remember, while Feinstein's extreme controls have been removed from the progressives' bill, there have been enough other new laws and changes to existing laws that continue to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights. Once lost, these rights are almost impossible to get back, without a total reset of our political environment. Don't hold your breath awaiting the 2nd American Revolution, much as many would like to see it, we saw in the 2012 election there are also far too many happy with their 'free stuff', irrespective that its true price is their liberty.
