18. Guns will get the democrats thrown out of washington.
I can just about guarantee that.
When Clinton passed the last AWB there was a political backlash. But gun owners hadn't really taken the potential ban seriously.
Now there are LOTS more gun owners, LOTS more gun owning democrats and gun owners are now well organized and prepared for a political fight over guns.
This is a whole new ball game compared to last time. Even Remington has a hunting rifle based on the AR15 platform.
Gun owners won't be playing around this time. There will be communication, money, and votes. It's already started.

It is a choice between the 2nd amendment and Republicans.
