From the article: "In the aftermath of a gun tragedy, there isn't anything wrong with proponents of gun control trying to persuade Americans to change their position in light of what happened. But after Newtown, many gun-control advocates tried to shame rather than persuade, as if the "correct" position was obvious to everyone save retrograde idiots"
Translation: They're screwed. There is no rational way to "persuade" people to allow aggressors to have the upper hand. Emotional persuasion - shaming, name calling, bloody shirt waving - is all they have. If there is a "plan B," it will be executed with force, not persuasion.
