Gun control is weakening as an issue for Democrats anyway, because so many Democrats have purchased guns in the past few years.
The number of Americans who favor stricter gun laws has dropped from 60% in 2019 to 53% today. Most of that decline came from Democrats, where support for gun control increases has dropped from 86% to 80%.
In the meantime, Californians are responding to idiotic progressive DA’s and their pro-violence policies by arming up:
Handgun sales were up 65% in 2020 over 2019, and 2021 looks to be even bigger.
The longer violence runs out of control in the big Democratic cities, the more Democrats living in them are going to buy guns. And that will degrade the support for gun control even more. ‘Defund the police’ should have been called ‘Arm the people’, because that’s the effect it had.
