I was only slightly hopeful they'd pass the Hearing Protection Act when they controlled both chambers and that didn't even happen. In regards to firearms laws I'm rather staking my hopes on the SCOTUS and an interpretation of "strict scrutiny" in the recent NYC case. This seems much more likely/achievable.
I know. It really was a shame about the HPA. I was more than a little perturbed at the discussion around that. They don't do enough to quiet a firearm that you won't need hearing protection, but they will make them too quiet to be heard if used in a crime?
As for the NYC law, I would be shocked if that wasn't overturned. Hell, I'd have been shocked it it wasn't overturned with Kennedy on the bench. It's far too restrictive.
