It depends on what they are promised. Do not for one minute think that if the current Speaker could get reforms on Social Security, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. that he would not cave. I personally view him as a RINO. The problem with all 535 of them is that they are politicians not Statesmen!QMCS wrote:Let's see....
Currently there are 53 Democratic Senators, 2 Independents Senators and 45 Republican Senators. Of which there are 20 currently held Democtatic seats up for re-election in 2014.
Ten of which are reported as very close races and possible wins by the Republicans, they are:
Mark Begich, Alaska
Mark Pryor, Arkansas
Mark Udell, Colorado
Tom Harkin, Iowa
Mary Landrieu, Louisiana
Al Frankenstein, Minnesota
Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire
Kay Hagen, North Carolina
Tim Johnson, South Dakota
Jay Rockerfeller, West Virginia
And the possibility of John Kerry's seat being open due to being nominated for Secetery of State.

Taking these numbers into account, how do you think the vote on this bill will go? I see at least 6 Senators from states that are very pro-hunters/guns.
By my math, 53-6 (of the 10 up for re-election)=47 possible Senators voting for the bill. Then take the other side, 45+2+6=53 against the bill.
Even if it did somehow get past the Senate, do you believe the Republican Party will vote for it?

Re: 2/3rds of U.S. weapons owners would 'defy' a federal gun
“If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify."
--Alexander Hamilton
Federalist No. 33, January 3, 1788
