How could a new ban pass the Republican-controlled House? In '94 the Democrats controlled the White House and both houses of congress - not the case today.

I've already looked at the votes. Roughly 75% of the Democrats voted for the ban and roughly 75% of Republicans voted against it.
Public support for a ban was higher at the time than it is now. There has been a shift to more support after Sandy Hook but not to the level seen after the Virginia Tech shooting.
