Did Feinstein's AW ban bill take down other forms of gun control?

Adam Winkler thinks so.
"There was one certain impact of proposing to ban the sale of assault weapons: it was guaranteed to stir gun-rights proponents to action. Ever since Obama was elected, they’ve been claiming that he wanted to ban guns. Gun-control advocates mocked this claim—then proposed to ban a gun. Not only that, the gun they were trying to ban happened to be the most popular rifle in America."
No, the fight has moved on to the states, where the "media" can more easily suppress reporting of events.
Origin is the same, Democrats. Ideas are the same, goals. Change of venue, not of thought.
