This isn't 94. There are a lot less dems in conservative districts. Going anti gun won't hurt as many dems as it did before.
Now is a great time politically for the left to push guns as an issue. They can paint the GOP as being against middle class tax cuts and for guns to shoot your kids. The DEms really don't care about gun rights, they know it is a wedge issue that plays well with dumb suburban soccer mom's, who frankly aren't all that pro Dem lately.
The get a gun ban and it doesn't hurt them. They don't get it and it is the GOP to blame everytime we have another nut crack.
Of all places CNN pointed out at the end of an article that the biggest mass murder at a school was in 1927 in Michigan by a former School board member with bombs. Something like 42 killed.
So much for pop culture and guns as a cause....
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
