The 1994 sweep didn't happen because of the assault weapons ban, if anything that was a late sideshow...the GOP was successful because they ran against excess attributed to longstanding control by Dem's and the Contract With America.

This is why I think Obama is trying to exploit Executive Orders in order to push a gun-control agenda. It gives the Democratic legislators "plausible dependability" so that Republicans can't point at the incumbents during the next election and say "that guy voted to take away your freedoms. That guy found it less important to focus on a balanced budget and resolving our fiscal time bomb than the importance he put in making law-abiding citizens less safe in their own homes."

I assume you meant plausible denialability?
