In a CNN op-ed<\/a>, Dan Gross, the president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, argued that we\u2019ve reached the \u201ctipping point\u201d in the debate over laws that restrict one\u2019s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

Gross believes that \u201cchange is in the air\u201d and gives various reasons to substantiate his argument. For the sake of brevity and clarity, I\u2019ve recapitulated his article in a \u201cfive reasons\u201d format.<\/p>\n

1. Pop Culture Echo Chamber<\/h2>\n

Gross believes that increasingly actors, singers, artists and other pop culture icons are jumping on the gun-grabbing bandwagon. He cited a recent SNL skit as well as a \u201cBlacklish\u201d television episode that looked at the issue through a comedic lens; and mentioned a Kim Kardashian appeal for universal background checks on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with smoking, drinking and driving and same-sex marriage, the sentiments of the American public are being reflected in media and culture beyond victims and advocates,\u201d wrote Gross.<\/p>\n

2. Presidential Debate<\/h2>\n

At the Democratic debate last week it was rather evident that candidates weren\u2019t shying away from gun control, notes Gross.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong considered a “third rail” issue, major presidential candidates are actually running on it,\u201d argued Gross. \u201cIn last week’s Democratic debate, candidates were falling over each other to demonstrate the strength of their stance for sensible gun laws. They were actually bragging about their negative NRA ratings.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Public Polls<\/h2>\n

Public polls consistently show widespread support for universal background checks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn astounding 93% of the American public, including 90% of Republican voters, more than 80% of gun owners and more than 70% of NRA households support expanding Brady background checks to all gun sales,\u201d wrote Gross.<\/p>\n

4. State-Level Gun Control<\/h2>\n

Gross touted the success of draconian gun measures enacted at the state level following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, since 20 children and six teachers were killed at Sandy Hook, six states — Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Oregon and Washington — have expanded Brady background checks to all gun sales,\u201d wrote Gross.<\/p>\n

5. Ballot Initiatives<\/h2>\n

The future of the gun-control movement, according to Gross, is ballot initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cBallot initiatives, where citizens can vote directly on a new law, illuminate a true path forward,\u201d explained Gross. \u201cTurns out it’s a lot easier for the gun lobby to bully a small number of politicians than to bully millions of voters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter we win in Maine and Nevada, there are 14 more states that have the ballot initiative process that don’t have expanded background checks,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Gross concludes by saying that \u201cto see all this clear evidence that our mission is turning into a true movement, into a collective outcry of “enough,” and that the tipping point for the gun issue, finally, is here.\u201d<\/p>\n

My thoughts<\/h2>\n

Most of what Gross says is quite accurate. Hollywood is becoming increasingly involved in the gun debate, Democratic candidates are for the first time in a long time proud of their anti-gun policy positions, polls are showing public support for background checks, certain states have passed onerous gun laws, and background checks are popping up on ballots across the country.<\/p>\n

That said, the war is far from over. I think, if anything, their progress will only harden the resolve of gun owners to stand and fight. We saw what happened when president Obama was elected, and then re-elected. Through grassroots efforts, donations to gun rights groups, public rallies and demonstrations, letters to Congress and the ATF, the gun community showed up in full force to retard the efforts of the Obama administration and for the most part we succeeded. Did we win every battle? No. But did we win more than we lost? Absolutely. Last time I checked, we\u2019re still winning the war. And moving forward, if we continue to do what we\u2019ve always done, remain politically active and engaged, we\u2019ll keep winning the war.<\/p>\n

(Heck, and even if we lose the war, we got the guns and they\u2019ll have to come take em. They\u2019ll need more than tweets from Kim Kardashian to get that job done).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
