Has the gun control issue really disappeared? Some recent commentary suggests that it has. In a piece that I have posted this weekend I argue that gun control initiatives are just as numerous as ever. The reason for the lack of attention is that attention goes to those initiatives that have a chance to pass and especially at the federal level, with Republicans controlling both houses of congress, most initiatives stand little chance of passing.
