In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Calls For “National Movement” On Gun Control To Match The NRA’s [View all]sarisataka
(21,373 posts)23. I wish her good luck,
The current billionaire financed "National Movement" on gun control doesn't have much movement nationally and seems it can only get Democrats elected out of office.
Trying to form such a movement herself would require taking effort away from her campaign so I don't think we will see much action anytime soon.
Non-billionaire financed gun control borders on mythical and I am not seeing any early support for pro-gun control Democrats from the billionaire's groups. I expect they will stay quiet until the general election then voice support for the Democratic Presidential candidate but work against Congressional Democrats who do not have enough doctrinal purity. Again.
