Gun control activists are better organized, and they are still losing, writes ZacharyFaria.
Shannon Watts is stepping down from Moms Demand Action, the “grass-roots advocacy group” that has taken off with the help of billionaire Michael Bloomberg. As such, she has received a gushing profile in the Washington Post about her and the billionaire-funded “grassroots” group, where the outlet seems to assume the gun control movement has been winning in politics for the last several years because of how brave and organized she is.
In 2013, the Senate voted down President Barack Obama’s gun control agenda. Nine years later, the group got its big win with the “first significant gun legislation” to become law in three decades. But the bill “didn’t include many of the sweeping changes activists had long fought for,” though. In fact, it only incentivized states to pass red flag laws and slightly tightened background checks for certain crimes.
