Gun control in its least offensive form is mandatory background checks. Eventually, that will win. Slightly less likely is mandatory collection of gun use data. Let's assume that wins too. Since neither affects the ability of 99.9% of the people obtaining firearms, the effect will only be on how ownership affects urban v. rural areas. Until the rural areas agree that urban gun ownership and use are vastly different and need different solutions, this will percolate below the surface as an irritant in most urban areas.
The pro-gun crowd is still a minority, albeit a very determined one. If the level of determination shifts toward control, the level of pent up anger may push this much further than the gun crowd can tolerate. Be careful what you wish for.
