Will gun control be an issue in this election?

If yes how will it effect your vote?

Update:

Gun control doesn't affect the middle class? I don't think that’s accurate

    No, gun control won't be an issue. The NRA has made it very public that they have paid off both parties. This will not effect my vote, as I have a few shotguns and a couple hand guns. I have no use whatsoever for any kind of assault weapon.

    Gun control will not be an issue this election. Obama has made a few vague statements about the need for more gun control but he has not acted.

    There was a push from the mainstream media and the fringe left for gun control but the last attempt at gun control was a prominent factor in the GOP landslide of 94. No sane Democrat wants to repeat it.

    It is a middle class and upper middle class issue. Who do you think gun owners are?

    highly unlikely. Obama never pushed any gun control whatsoever, even when he had big majorities in the House and Senate. The democrats have pretty much given up on gun control since 2000, when it cost Gore the election (if he won his gun loving home state of Tennessee, Florida wouldn't have mattered)

    Probably not, gun control doesn't affect the economy or the middle class

    Not in my view...the economy and Middle east unrest will predominate.
