I wouldn't be so sure of that. Sad truth is, outside of the white male demographic, there is no great love in America for assault weapons and high-cap magazines and demographic changes haven't exactly been in our favor. This isn't the same country as it was in 1994.
I'm trying to remain optimistic but some of the outrage I've been hearing lately isn't giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
Also, there is a great deal of pushback on forums, letters to editor, etc as well. Much more than I see on other 'conservative' issues.
I guess we shall see. I don't think public opinion matters a great deal to these people anyways.
