Hey Doug, I think my comment was pretty good bordering on brilliant if I do say so myself.
It will be a chess match. Senator Reid won't make a large move until 2014 because he has too many seats up for re-election to protect. I believe there are 14 seats up for re-election in 2014 and 2 empty seats right now he is fighting for. He wants to remain majority leader, the President cannot be re-elected so he offers no help and Senator Reid will do everything in his power to delay bringing a major gun bill to the Senate floor.

That is until 2014 and if 2014 is anything like 2012 where Republicans LOST seats in both the Senate and the House Pelosi will again be Speaker and nothing will stop their agenda. Needless to say, 2014 is importtant.
