I just don't see the Democrats passing any gun legislation that's going to lose them any rural votes.

Clinton has copped to the fact the stuff he passed helped the Dems lose in 94.

I know for sure Gore lost my state, that almost always votes Dem over gun control.

The Dems don't want to see the rural areas that elected democrats in the last election boot them out.

They think maybe stuff like helping the middle class, health care, getting us out of Iraq and stuff like that might be more important than losing congress again before they can get anything like that accomplished.

So I'm not worried. We may see greater screening to keep the mentally ill from buying guns, but any registration and gun banning schemes? Don't think we'll see it happening any time soon. Look at the rash of shootings. There's no stampede in congress to pass any new laws. They know better.
