That is like asking how likely is it that the world will end next week.
Normally, the answer is very low. But maybe the 4 horsemen are sighted during a final four game and the end is nigh.

But I digress, currently at a federal level it is very low...unless another nut job shoots up a large group of people using a so called "assault weapon". If that happens before the next election then expect a magazine ban, Republicans who are in real competitions will be worried about being painted as "extremists" who "won't protect our children" in the media and enough will defect for it to pass.

If nothing else happens between now and November 2014 we are probably in the clear.


On the local level the chances are much higher. If you live in a state North of the Mason Dixon with a Democratic governor and a Democratic state house or senate you are in dire risk right now. A magazine ban is the low hanging fruit, especially with grandfathering.
As a Governor If you show that (for now) you aren’t coming to take anyone’s guns or magazines the political backlash is not that severe, those people weren’t going to vote for an anti gunner anyways.


Bloomberg again has shown others what NOT to do. The NY Safe act is a good example to all other anti gun politicians that if they bite off more than they can chew they might find themselves without a job come the next election.
