Based on what?
I would suggest that you havent looked at the profiles of the new Congress.
An AWB ban couldnt get a hearing in the House or a even a draft bill in the Senate in the 110th Congress..there is nothing to indicate it will change in 111th Congress.
While the Democrat majority in both houses have increased, the number of gun control members have not.
Most new Democrats elected in 06 and 08, particularly from the West and South (eg Tester, Webb, Salazar, Udall in the Senate - and dozens of House members from swing districts) are gun rights advocates...or at least, not gun control advocates.
