You really think that's going to happen? Given the Senators up for reelection next year, I think it's far more likely that the Republicans take back some power in the Senate, if not an outright majority.

I contacted my Senators and Representative to voice my opposition to a new "assault weapon" ban. Did you?

Not if ACORN, NBPP, dead voters, and illegal voters have anything to say about it.

I don't see an AWB passing right now. However I am worried about midterm elections.

They had one from 2009 to 2011, and didn't do anything.

Schumers and Feinsteins will talk all day long because they are safe. The rest of their party, not so much.

we are circling the drain, soon we will be either subjects or criminals. The tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots. God Bless America! We are seeing a fine example of demogogury.

Another mass shooting WILL happen.
If another one was to hit right now, worse than Sandy Hook, there would be a ban on magazines, "assault weapons", and "gun show loopholes". It would pass easily. It would be supported by MORE americans than those who would oppose it.

And that is another issue with the whole idea of registering firearms, and not the only issue. However, you concede and register today....another incident happens and we get an AWB...it becomes much easier to pressure people to give them up. Not saying I would, but I think many people would.

Now that the emotions are cooling down I think more and more people are realizing gun control is not the answer to anything other than disarming honest law abiding citizens.

In the free society there is risk, mass shootings will happen and we can't be scared we are going to loose our rights every time one does.

Well, the masses don't think calmly like that and the dems are too quick to capitalize on anything like that and fear monger to get their way so... yes... I do think the next one will do us in and it won't be slow and deliberate.

Al Franken supports an AWB. That said I don't see this thing going anywhere.
