And you actually believe its because the politicians had a change of heart and/or because the NRA pushed these fights forward?... TOTAL B.S. and you know it!
The reason the anti-gun laws have been falling left and right across the country is due to the activism of SOME gun owners and LOCAL/STATE gun rights groups. Hell the frigging NRA sat on the sidelines most of the time twiddling their thumbs and courting Commie Dems.
I'm glad the NRA finally decided to get back in the fight and I'll give them credit where credit is due, such as this case, but it will take a very long time to win back the loyalty of members... well except for the groupies that are more than willing to look the other way while a NRA shiv is again pushed into the Second Amendments back.

Not hardly. With the exception of passing concealed carry privileges in national parks to gain the NRA's blessing, rats in Congress have been too afraid of crossing the NRA. It would have endangered their new members.

Feds Send Mixed Signals On Push For Gun Control
Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Reid were joined in opposing Holder by members of the bipartisan House of Representatives Second Amendment Task Force. U.S. Rep. and Task Force co-chair Paul Broun (R-Ga.) said "The Attorney General's recent comments about reinstating the 'assault weapons' ban are extremely troubling since a ban clearly violates our Constitutional right to bear arms." Co-chair Dan Boren (D-Okla.) added, "The Second Amendment Task Force is adamantly opposed to reinstating the ban on the sale of assault weapons as it clearly would demonstrate a violation of United States citizens' right to keep and bear arms." Other members of the Task Force include Democrats Jason Altmire (D-Pa.), Travis Childers (D-Miss.), Brad Ellsworth (D-Ind.), Jim Matheson (D-Utah) and Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.), and Republicans Rob Bishop (R-Utah), John Carter (R-Tex.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Steve King (R-Iowa) and Steve Scalise (R-La.).
The rats in Congress knew who they had to elect to get their majorities in 2006 and 2008. It was not gun grabbers. The rats finally woke up six years after Bush v. Gore. They knew who not to endanger with new, serious gun grabbing bills. The NRA had Pelosi and Reid by the short hairs. The NRA has been working all over the country to help local gun rights organizations. I've been posting their press releases and stories from NRA-ILA's news website since I've been posting here.
I'm not crazy about everything the NRA has done, but with all the RINOs in the GOP, their actions are understandable.
