Assuming that it gets passed at all. Over the last 8-10 years (well, since the sunset of the previous AWB), AR15's and their counterparts have become by far the most popular category of sporting rifle ever made. Couple that with the Congressional political consequences of the 1994 AWB (Republican landslide), the vastly greater number of AR15's out there, and the American public's traditionally short attention span relative to the recent tragedy in Newtown...I'm not sure we'll see an AWB of any kind. Maybe a magazine ban.
The problem that they're having is that it's harder to sustain an emotional argument. Eventually, the facts of the situation just keep popping up. It would be an easier sell if anyone could in any way demonstrate that there was a positive effect of the 1994 AWB, but there's nothing.
