Unless Dems have control of the House and Senate and Presidency all gun control is probably DOA. So yes without a real change on government it's all academic.

But - and this is also a big reality - the Dems DID control all three and still did nothing. And a lot of the people in power at the time made the same sort of vague promises of progress that we hear Dems making now - including Hilary Clinton.

So I just can't have any faith in anyone being vague and exploiting gun violence.
