No meaningful gun control came about after Sandy Hook (where someone took out an entire classroom of first graders) nor Las Vegas (where one man shot 411 people).

I think most of the Democrats at this point have come around to the "nothing's gonna happen, stop spending political capital on it" approach by now. This legislation is by one of the... quirkier members of Congress, with no cosponsors.

Fair enough. I'm not sure they had the same numbers in the House and Senate during those incidents.

Although that is the only way I can see something like this passing.
