Yes it's true that if they crack down on honest gun owners they will feel the heat come next election, but they can do a lot of damage that will be hard to undo. For instance, if they reinstate a permanent "assault weapon" ban covering all semiautos, this will be politically very hard to repeal later.

Imagine a politician sticking his neck out to author repeal legislation, while the Bradys and Bidens crank out TV propaganda saying, "Joe Republican wants to put AK-47s back in the hands of gang members and flood the streets of your city with machine guns for drug dealers."

It will be political suicide to fight for honest Americans' rights. The influence of the MSM will ensure such laws are portrayed as "protecting our police officers" and such.

The backlash from rural gun owners to Dems will be serious.
Two years from now I can see taking both houses of Congress back.

TV propaganda saying, “Joe Republican wants to put AK-47s back in the hands of gang members and flood the streets of your city with machine guns for drug dealers.”

We both know this is poppy cock.
