Typical World Net Daily, a flashy headline which the details of the story do not back up.

Anybody can introduce a bill. The question is will it go anywhere, or is it going to die a slow death in the committee?

Given how toxic gun control legislation has been for the Democrats in the past, and the fact that this would face several constitutional challenges, I would not worry too much until and unless a committee vote were scheduled. However, I doubt it will get that far. The only reason the Democrats have a majority in the House is because of the pro-Gun “Blue Dog” Democrats. They would not be so stupid as to risk their seats by provoking the NRA on legislation like this.

Obama is soon to have two supreme court justices, a solid majority. Once that happens, the you know what will hit the fan.
