Some of it depends on whether the Dems remember what happened to them in 1994 after they passed the Brady Bill and the assault weapons ban. They may figure, "Hey, we have a mandate, and it's 14 years later, let's go for it", and certainly the @$$holes who drive these bans like Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein have nothing to lose because they have safe seats.

I anticipate that the Dems are already plotting their legislative strategy (they've actually said so) and that they will have many bills covering much of their agenda already written and ready for "debate" when 0bama takes office. It all comes down to whether we can make the Republicans "man up" and oppose them. I'm not holding my breath.

It’s a certainty that the Dems will pass a law outlawing semi-auto pistols and rifles. How that will be implemented remains unknown. Every gun sold in the past 30 years is known to BATF. I believe it will be done town by town, starting here in MA, with police first notifying you to turn-in your guns, then coming for them in person. Violence will erupt. The Press Whores will show the violence on TV, urging that ALL guns must be taken to “stop the violence.”
