There are still a lot of Bill Clinton era Democrats in Congress (not to mention soon to be in the White House)
They remember what happened when Slick Willy rammed through the AWB. I don't think they will be hot to do it before the mid-terms, especially with such a tenuous hold on Congress already.
They are going to work on key items that solidify their position and build their base, not jeopardize it.
