This has been coming for a while now, coming to a town or state near you. After 1994, when the strong anti-gun stance cost the Dems the Congress for the first time in eons, the anti-gun rhetoric was toned down, and the fight taken locally. Lots of ding- and moon-bats at the local level more than willing to pass such laws.
And yes, election of the obamanation will fuel these fires even more. Stay vigilant at the local, county and state levels. In Chicago, a lot of the anti-gun heavy lifting is being done by the Cook County Commission, so as to leave Dickie Daley's hands "clean".
