The gun issue died nationally years ago. The fight has been taken locally by the gun-grabbers. There are more sympathetic ears in the local state houses. In 2008 you will not hear 1 candidate talk about new gun control laws. The Dems have removed it from their platform.

"The Dems have removed it from their platform."

I think they have just quieted down for the time being. Let the Dems win a couple of seats in each house and you will see new gun control spewing out of Washington in weeks.
