The one thing that I find encouraging is that neither candidate brought it up, to my knowledge, until they were put on the spot at the debate.
Also note that both candidates just used the question as a jumping off point to talk about their social values.
Obama said a few words about a new AWB, and then the bulk of his answer was about creating economic opportunity so that fewer people become criminals.
Romney said a few words about enforcing the laws already on the books, and then spent most of his time talking about how the Leave It To Beaver Nuclear Family is the answer to all of society's problems.
I think both sides are making a few mouth noises about guns to make their base feel good, but changing the law isn't really part of anyone's agenda.
