It’s been 20 years since Columbine, with increasingly frequent and deadly mass shootings in places like Orlando, Las Vegas, Blacksburg, Va., Newtown, Conn., and Charleston, S.C. But there's a pattern of people endorsing gun restrictions only after the problem hits close to home. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) says Dayton should be the "catalyst" for new gun control. His daughter was across the street. Why didn’t he think it was a “catalyst” when other people’s kids had to run for their lives in cities that weren’t in his district? https://t.co/WbbTpHhCue — PolitiTweet.org

Today's 202 explores how Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, Tim Ryan and John Hickenlooper changed their tunes on gun control over the last few years to catch up with the Democratic zeitgeist -- and get on the same page as others running for POTUS. https://t.co/fEw4vFHpCV — PolitiTweet.org

7) The National Rifle Association is weakened by scandal, but the gun lobby is still strong. 8) Trump’s divisiveness makes it harder for him to bring the country together, even if he’s earnest about wanting to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

6) Time is on the gun lobby’s side. Congress’s summer recess is scheduled to last five more weeks. Five weeks is an eternity in politics, and the passage of time may sap momentum as the public’s attention turns elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

4) Both bills are being pigeonholed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is up for reelection in Kentucky next year and therefore has little incentive to upset his right flank. 5) Injecting immigration into the already fraught gun debate is a poison pill. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

1) Trump talked a big game about the need to change gun laws after the February 2018 massacre in Parkland, but he never followed through with anything significant. 2) The devil is in the details. 3) Trump threatened to veto 2 background check bills that passed the House in Feb. — PolitiTweet.org
