I'm not so worried about big nasty AWB type legislation that is on it's face anti-gun. I agree that there are a good number of Democrat legislators from traditionally conservative districts that would get hammered come reelection time.

I worry more about the smaller, hidden amendments crammed into a bill at midnight in some "smoke filled room". Remember all the posts about anti elements in the "stimulus" bill. They didn't pan out, but it certainly could have happened as large as that pile of paper was and as quickly as it was shoved through.

Won't be big sweeping changes that way (at least I don't think) but our rights can still be taken away one small bite at a time.
