I think we will get a hard push for AWB, permanent grandfathered BUT unable to sell the gun later on. Magazine limit to 10 rounds and elimination of the "gun show loophole". Now, do I think all of that will pass? No. The best strategy I think is to let the news cycle pass. The antis can't do all of this quickly and I say delay it till the furor dies down then kill it in the House committee. We'll see but they will come very hard this time since the crime is so horrific. Hard for us to argue retaining black rifles right now without appearing to be insensitive to children and the situation.
