I agree. I don't see a nationwide gun grab going on. Not in my lifetime, or at least the twilight of it. The last AWB caused serious hemorrhaging for the democrats. Something will be attempted but not retroactive.
Part of me almost wishes they would try and go for the brass ring so we could have this showdown once and for all. But it won't happen. Lost rights in this country don't happen with one pass of the pen. They get chipped away little by little so most don't know/care until they're gone.
