After the ATF dropped it a Democratic Senator was putting a bill forward regarding the same. Pretty sure the senators were from NY and NJ

The ATF didn't drop it. They just put it on the back burner.
But yes democrats introduced a bill which is going nowhere (from my understanding). The Republics however introduced a counter bill to make it legal. Havent heard anything on that bill really though

And none of the bills are going anywhere...they're all political posturing. R's won't let D bills pass; Obama will veto R bills that do pass. This is the state of politics in the USA in 2015. Bipartisanship has been killed by a lack of trust.

Totally agree...the job of a legislator is not exclusively to pass new legislation; it is equally to prevent bad legislation from ever passing, and even to repeal bad legislation that has been signed into law.
