I am cautiously optomistic. With all the draconian measures the Feinstein bill call for (registration for one) I don't think that it will pass.

Any so called "assault weapons ban" voted on in congress would be vastly different from any proposed by Feinstein. An AWB like the last one would likely pass the senate, probably with an expiration date. i doubt that any such ban would pass the US house. Additionally, the speaker of the house has the option of refusing to bring the bill to the floor for debate.

Plus the politicians well remember what happened in the 96 elections after the AWB passed.

It was the 94 elections. The Democrats lost control of both houses of congress. The Republicans picked up 54 seats in the house and took control of that body for the first time in 40 years.
Sadly, the Republicans who voted for the AWB got a pass.
