Back in the 90's when murder and gun violence was twice as bad as it is now most of the killers were inner city gangs. But now we are starting to see these alt-right organizations storming the U.S. Capitol, and making plans to kidnap Governors. They are building a security wall around the Kentucky Governors mansion after a pro-gun crowd surrounded it last year.
Both lawmakers and citizens will take a much different view of gun control when the threat is to all of them instead of just inner city gang members. Guns appear to be a bigger THREAT to our government than a protection against it.
So more of ignoring the actual issues at hand and instead focusing on a hot-button issue to rile up voting bases? Seems about right.
