That indeed may be true...but I saw the analysis of which Senators are up for re-election...and the only slam-dunk the Democrat Party has is the seat in Maine...whose Senator voted for this stuff anyway. Yeah, I don't like losing that seat, but I do hope that maybe the Democrats will lose more than they gain on this one.
Personally, I'm far more worried about losing control of the House. If the Democrats chose to, they could already go "nuclear" in the senate.
The bill never even came up to a vote in the House...if the Republican Party loses the House, it won't be because of gun control.
