"There will also be a push to repeal the so-called Tiahrt amendment , named after Rep. Todd Tiahrt , R-Kan. , that limits the authority of the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives to disclose gun-trace data to the public and requires that certain records submitted to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System be destroyed after 24 hours . Both the Third Way 's Bennett and Helmke said it may take another major gun crime , like the shootings at Columbine High School or Virginia Tech , to get Congress to act on more ambitious gun control initiatives . Those include overturning a law enacted in 2005 that denies gun crime victims the right to sue firearms manufacturers and dealers for damages . Sen. Dianne Feinstein , D-Calif. , said she plans to push legislation to reinstate a federal ban on some assault weapons that became law during the Clinton administration in 1994 but expired under the Bush administration in 2004 . Another long-term goal is requiring that all gun shows conduct background checks before selling firearms . The NRA 's Cox said his group is gearing up to fight a new assault weapons ban , noting that Obama supports one and that Attorney General Eric Holder recently linked the proliferation of military-style weapons to the violence along the Mexican border . '' It 's laughable if it was n't so serious to suggest that diminishing the Second Amendment will positively impact the situation down in Mexico , `` Cox said ."
