I think things have changed...at least in public opinion. What hasn't changed is the same thing that causes all of the other political issues....politicians bending over for the well funded lobbyist.
The majority of people do want considerably more gun control in the country. And every time this happens more and more people know someone who was hurt or killed in these incidents and personal opinion does change. It is getting to the point where you have strong pro-second amendment people starting to speak out. That things have gone too far or that clearly the responsibility is too much.
You look at this case...a guy buys nearly three dozen firearms and thousands of rounds of ammo in a 12 month period. Sure it was all done legally but even just a small amount additional controls is going to at least put this guy on the radar. I don't think it happens tomorrow like it should but eventually the ruling party will start to listen to the public.
