My guess, and that is all it is, is that it will not be renewed.

The problem I see is that it is not a single time issue. If (for political reasons in an election year) the ban is not passed this year, it will be passed all or in pieces over the next year while there is plenty of time till the next election for people to cool down and forget about it.

Yes it is easier to pass a law than to repeal one.
