Support for gun-control is actually tapering a bit, and has been since 9/11. Heck, the AWB may actually sunset, and if that is not a sure sign of the tepidity of gun control in the national debate, I dunno what is. Another sure sign is the total lack of discourse on gun control in the Presidential race.

Now, I'm not saying we should let our guard down, just saying that the Democrat party has realized that Gun control is a loser-issue for them, and have backed off in large part. I find it sad that it was done simply because of polls and not because of deference to the Bill of Rights, but whatever. So long as they keep hands offa the Rights, I don't care.
