For total diosclosure's sake, I'm on the staff of the Brady Campaign, the leading gun violence prevention organization. This is an interesting piece - but do the math! 11 of the froshes ran arguing that they would oppose smart gun policies -- but that means 29 of the 40 are for common sense gun laws.
The 2006 elections were the best election cycle for supporters of sensible gun policies in 14 years. Is it true that the new Senator from Montana is supportive of the NRA side of the issue? Probably he will be, but on the other side of that are people like Ed Perlmutter from suburban Colorado, the Governors of Wisconsin, Illinois and Pennsylvania and manyu, many others who were on the right side of the issue in '06.
The gun pushers suffered terrible losses in this election, and the loss of control has a huge and positive impact on the issue.
