Now, if we ever get someone who's willing to pull in favors, get in other people's debt, and risk re-election in order to make gun control a central tenet, then that would be much more worrysome.
Agreed.

Feinstein will introduce the bill (as she always does), but it won't go anywhere. The real threat would be if there were a significant shift to anti-gun politicians in the Congress and the President and party higher ups decide to make a strong push for a bill like this. As Congress currently stands, any ban is going nowhere. There's no gains to be made by pushing this agenda in most parts of the US, the politicians know it, and nobody wants to take a close reelection race and turn it into a sure loser by pushing an unpopular agenda.

As long as we remain awake and alert and keep electing pro-gun politicians who support the RKBA this will remain the case.
