food for thought (i guess)

Democratic lawmakers and aides, as well as lobbyists, say an assault weapons ban has the least chance of being approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee that is working up the legislation. They say a ban on high-capacity magazines is viewed as the next least likely proposal to survive, though some compromise version of it might, allowing more than the 10-round maximum that Obama favors.

Likeliest to be included are universal background checks and prohibitions against gun trafficking, they say. One lobbyist said other possible terms include steps to improve record keeping on resales of guns and perhaps provisions that would make it harder for mentally ill people from obtaining firearms.

what do you all think? what to make of this? opinions?

if this is a repost, i apologize.

I think universal background checks are THE most likely to pass as well as THE most dangerous of all of the proposed changes.

Dangit.

Background checks and mag limits are likely... My unpopular opinion though.

Ridiculous legislation gets introduced... It fails
A less ridiculous version is introduced... It gains popularity, but fails
A "compromise" version is introduced... Politics are played... It passes
