Agree with AJ on this one.
Bill Clinton, in his book, pulled no punches in saying that the '94 ban was one of the worst mistakes he ever made. He said that Democrat leaders begged him not to push for the ban, and said that they would lose in the '94 elections. Well, they were right, and he admitted it.
There's a lot more EBR owners now than there were in '94. I just can't see the Democrats not realizing what the implications would be. The Democrats understand doing what it takes to get elected and stay in office. It's their whole reason for being.
I'm betting that we'll see a couple of relatively minor pushes, such as "closing the gun show loophole." Even these, though, will have a tough time.
Many of the newly-elected Democrats come from districts that were previously represented by Republicans, and are thus more conservative. Bitter and clinging, if you will.
As it is, I think the Republicans are positioning themselves to take back control of congress in 2010. Why would the Democrats hand them the keys by pushing gun control?
