Gun control lobby sees midterm elections as turning point in battle against NRA

The election of pro-gun-control lawmakers in the House, which helped Democrats capture the majority during this month’s midterm elections, is being seen by those wanting to limit Second Amendment rights as a pivotal political moment.

“The tide has been turning for some time now, with more and more Americans getting frustrated and saying enough with each mass shooting. We saw it in last year’s elections in Virginia and New Jersey when voters listed gun safety as a top priority, and we saw it again this year,” Max Samis, press secretary for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, told the Washington Examiner.
