Good read on the chances of renewal at the above link; but the highlights are that Democrats in tight races are opposed to the ban and hope it isn't an issue for the election.
Carolyn McCarthy says that they probably won't use a discharge petition to force a floor vote on renewal of the semi-auto ban - that is a real good sign for us. It suggests very strongly that they don't have the votes to pass a ban renewal in the House.
Also a good discussion of which politicians are trying to fly under the radar by not taking a position on the ban renewal. My personal feeling is that if any of those politicians were representing me, I would take their silence as a negative and vote against them unless their opponent was clearly worse.
