I'm afraid this won't be enough. I have a bad feeling this event will galvanize support for gun control and at the very least, we can expect a line-for-line resurrection of the Clinton-era AWB right around the corner. Obama will cut a deal with House Republicans to push it through. Obama currently enjoys political capital that Clinton didn't have in '94. He doesn't have to worry about re-election and nobody's afraid of the "Angry White Male" like they were two decades ago. The minority and female voters who sent Obama back to the White House will support him on this.

Good ol' Freeper Pessimism. I expect no the AWB will not be restored. No way would it pass the House.

Maybe. Maybe not. But I don't believe, particularly after this last election that the NRA will be as feared as it once was. And you know the media is going to play this up for all it's worth. When America is treated to scenes of grieving parents, unopened Christmas presents and little kid-sized coffins, the NRA isn't going to have a pot to piss in.

I do hope I'm wrong.
