You may not be aware of this, but after the coal miners in West Virginia were defeated by the US Army, they never recovered all of their arms or ammunition.  I have relatives who still have those very weapons, hanging on the walls as a reminder.

Their day-to-day weapons will not be given up just because the wimps pass a law, either.  

There are more people who believe that government is to be feared than pandered to on this issue.  

I don't think 330 million privately-owned weapons will be taken away from all of their owners.   

And many of those type of people actually live  in the outlying areas of the Willamette Valley, as well.
