Even after Sandy Hook when gun control came up for vote, they couldn't get all the Dems to vote for it. Remember Gabby Giffords statement when she walked off Capitol Hill after the vote? "If we can't get them to vote for gun control, then we need to replace them with people that will vote for it." She was talking about Democrats.

Even in the 2016 election, Hillary stayed away from the topic. Early on she made a comment supporting an Australian style gun ban, but never mentioned it again, and also never really mentioned any gun control after that.

Unlike many on DU, our parties congress critters and politicians know that gun control cost votes. It's politically better to kick the can down the road and then blame repubs for not doing anything about gun control.
