Subtle but major shift: In 2012, it was seen as politically incorrect to talk about gun laws after a shooting. Even some Dems were jittery. It was @ChrisMurphyCT who vehemently fought that notion. Today, McConnell is responding to Uvalde shooting by saying Congress should act. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes. Today’s NRA is not the force it once was. And the realignment plays into this: In 2012, Democrats used to rely a bit more on rural pro-gun areas; today their winning coalition runs through gun-control-friendly suburbs, and so fighting the NRA has become a badge of honor. — PolitiTweet.org

@sahilkapur @ChrisMurphyCT Great piece - do you think some of this is also related to the waning power of the NRA?
