Side note, when Sandy Hook happened, a lot of folks here were dead certain that there would be significant gun control legislation because of it, and I said no way.
You can't even get the DEMOCRATS to cross that threshold.
My father in law, a truly good person, but a BIG NRA guy, as well as most of the rest of the in in laws were all anxious about it, and I flat told them nothing was going to happen. He probably wanted the new toy anyways, but used it to motivate himself to pop about $1,400 for a pretty nice assault style rifle (which, of course, is a big part of why the NRA made a big deal out of digging its heels in). And, I must admit, I am going to go fire it with him the next time I am up there ...
Only thing we are going to see get down is immigration, and only because the Rs think they need to do it to win elections. They just have to spin around a while longer trying to find a way to do what everyone (in particular the POTUS) has been saying had to get down for years now while making it seem to be THEIR idea while trying to spin it as doing what the POTUS has recommended is in fact not what he recommended, and if we had done what they say he had recommended the Founding Fathers would have arisen and blighted us from existence.
