After watching the aftermath of the AWB of 1994, I’d say there will not be any further restrictions at the federal level or in at least 40 of the states for over a generation. The NRA fear machine and the memory of all the seats the Dems lost (everyone who lost was a yes vote IIRC) will ensure that.

You’d have better luck trying to pass a modern version of the Militia Act of 1792 and require every adult citizen to own a firearm.

For good bad or indifferent, there will only be loosing of firearms law for the foreseeable future.

If the Republicans ever retake the Senate and Presidency I wouldn’t put it past them to try and repeal the 1986 machine gun ban.
