When they are having to build walls around the White House and governors mansions I would say that IS the "actual issue at hand".
For years the Department of Homeland security has been saying that domestic terrorism is a bigger threat than foreign terrorists. Now that everyone is seeing it on the news people will start paying more attention.
I still see the problem as criminals having easy access to guns. But people that lived in low crime neighborhoods generally did not worry too much about that. Now that more of these criminals are middle class white guys threatening our elected officials instead of minority gang members killing each other public opinion is likely to shift.
