Counterproductive

Sometimes being progressive can be conterproductive to the goals that the progressives want to achieve.

Take, for instance, all of the hub-bub over gun control.

Sure there have been multiple shootings, at schools and collegegs, no less, but that does not mean that the majority of the American public will automatically turn against guns and the second amendment.

There is a definite gun culture which permeates places like Louisiana and Texas. This culture will not allow the liberals to even get close to outlawing the ownership of guns for the general, law-abiding public.

Policies like gun free zones are definitely countrproductive. If one looks at where a great majority of the school shootings take place, it is in gun free zones where people are not even allowed to have a gun in their car.

This is just another example of a progressive failure.
