The Beginning of the End

Supporters of reasonable gun regulation have been so cowed by National Rifle Association propaganda over the last quarter century that we are reluctant even to imagine such a thing. No matter how many innocents are slaughtered, no matter how many Americans organize, demonstrate and protest, we assume the NRA and its allies will eventually overpower us. And let's concede up front that the vast overrepresentation of rural states in the U. Senate tilts the system, undemocratically, toward those who claim that government is powerless to take meaningful steps against mass killings.

But the NRA's troubles are only part of the story. What may matter more is that 's voters changed the political calculus on the gun issue. Democratic terror over the NRA's power took hold in earnest after the midterm elections, when Republicans picked up 54 seats and gained control of the House for the first time since the early s.

Many factors explained the outcome, including a backlash against then-President Bill Clinton, opposition to tax increases passed to balance the budget, and the failure of the administration's health plan.

But for many Democrats, it was politically convenient to focus the blame for their heavy losses in rural and southern districts on gun-control legislation enacted not long before the election. The gun lobby's claims to influence were enhanced when it helped George W. Bush move heavily rural states his way six years later.

In , by contrast, the battleground districts where Democrats defeated Republicans were largely in suburbs where most voters are tired of politicians who capitulate to gun extremists. Democrats campaigned enthusiastically for sane regulation, and it helped them win. Voters who told exit pollsters that they cast ballots on the basis of gun policy voted for Democrats overwhelmingly, 70 percent to 29 percent.

The exit poll conducted by Edison Research and reported by CNN offered other evidence of which side was most energized by the issue. For example, among voters in households without guns, Democrats in House races prevailed by 72 percent to 26 percent. Those in households with guns voted Republican, but by a narrower margin, 61 percent to 36 percent.
