definitely turning in favor of tighter gun control legislation, and will continue to do so. It took the NRA, ALEC, and the Koch Brothers several generations to buy enough corrupt politicians to pass their obscene "guns for everyone, anywhere" laws, and it will take a while to overturn that political mindset. The fact is, that the mean old Democrats are NOT coming to take anyone's guns away, and that Big Lie is being put to rest.

Thankfully, the number of cold-dead-hands Second Amendment fanatics (militias, skinheads, survivalists, Libertarians) are on the decline, and are becoming politically inconsequential.
