Predict that the "Occupy" movement was destined for a quick death that is.<br /><br />When the left is losing on an issue they lose interest in the issue. <br /><br />Evidence gun control. Used to be that you couldn't crack a newspaper or look at a news site without some story carrying water for the likes of Handgun Control. Now?
