VooDoo69:

There has always been those folks who are anti-gun, bullets, etc....but now with the party change in the national presidency along with the ever-increasing numbers of House and Senate same-party members, these groups, folks, etc are getting a bit bolder in trying to get their foot in the door.

After all, the recent Heller decision by the US Supreme Court was only by a very, very narrow 5-4 vote.  With there probably going to be at least 2 if not 3 SC changes of members during this next administration's term(s), it won't take much to tip that vote.
