I do think that there's already a sea change of public opinion and energy on this issue. I've seen far more condemnation of the NRA by public figures than I could've ever imagined 15 or even 5 years ago, and the sheer revulsion and contempt of people towards the thoughts and prayers cliche increases every time. Are we at a tipping point yet? Probably not, but we are headed that direction.
Like usual when this happens, the politicians will be 10-15 years behind the public, but I wouldn't be surprised if the gun debate in the 2030s is FAR more hostile to the NRA's priority than the debate today is.
