the NRA says 'dems are coming for your guns', people hold on tighter to their guns, an election happens and poorer and lower middle class and middle class get out and vote republucan to keep their guns. Works every time because the issue of mass shootings is not solved and one always happens in the lead up to an election, or at least in the year before. And the dance repeats itself. Until Parkland and those great kids who have broadened their movement to include all kids. Interesting that in canada people are differentiating between rural and urban gun ownership from the getgo. In rural areas the police might be 20 to 45 minutes away or longer. So nobody is talking about banning their rifles and whatnot.
