that gun control wasn't an issue despite what the NRA says. Pres. Obama has done nothing for gun control, matter of fact, he's signed bills that expanded gun rights, CC in national parks, firearms in checked baggage on Amtrak.

Voters were not worried about any new gun control laws at all. The House is solidly in the Repukes hands, so, no new laws from that branch of congress and in the Senate, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a solid pro RKBA Senator and he will never allow any gun control law to come to the floor for a vote.

The NRA shot themselves in the foot for no reason at all.
I saw an article where Sen. Feinstein has already called for a renewal of the AWB, any bets on how far it will get?
