It is widely believed that passing the '94 AWB cost many Democratic lawmakers their seats. An article below said:
If we don't unseat the lawmakers, Democrat, Republic, or otherwise who have voted against the 2nd Amendment we are sending a strong signal that pro-2nd amendment citizen's no longer wield the power we once had and that voting against the 2nd amendment is no longer a seat costing action.
Sure we can hope cases get to SCOTUS and rule in our favor, but that takes years and in that time politicians can pass so many laws in so many states that their death by a thousand cuts could do irreparable harm.
All I can say is that people better get out and vote these anti-2nd Amendment folks out of office otherwise we won't have a 2nd Amendment left to preserve.

In some cases, those media are citing President Bill Clinton, who, according to Politico's uncritical report on his January 19 speech, "said that passing the 1994 federal assault weapons ban 'devastated' more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers in the 1994 midterms -- and cost then-Speaker of the House Tom Foley (D-Wash.) his job and his seat in Congress." Clinton also credited the National Rifle Association for the Democrats losing control of the House in his 2004 autobiography.
