As I was perusing the firearms at the local Academy store, I overheard the salesman talking with a guy who just bought an LCP. They were talking about the possibility of a gun ban.
The salesman (a wiser older gentleman who has been there for years and whose opinions I generally agree with), said that with a bad economy, the firearms industry is one of the few that is not laying anyone off and is showing record profits. So any bans or restrictions on the industry would hurt the economy, and Obama needs to be able to show a strong economy, so we shouldn't worry.
IMHO, his logic is sound, but logic is seldom seen from liberals. Excuse the pun, but it would be just like the liberals to shoot themselves in the foot by passing legislation which would hurt the thriving firearms industry/economy just so they can advance their anti-gun nonsense.
I agree with others above that the legislation will likely be a while in coming, but it will come and I too am ready.
My prediction is it will happen after the congressional elections.
