ADVERTISEMENTFor the first time since 2000, the Presidential election promises to be pivotal for the politics of gun control. It was not long ago that the political death of gun control was accepted as an incontestible truth by pundits of every ideological stripe. The political lines are drawn on the gun control issue more clearly and unmistakably than at any point since 2000. The triumph of previously disrespected "Second Amendment rights," as the Trump supporters interpret them, will be part of that Trump victory narrative. Unlike Obama in 2008 and 2012, a Clinton victory in 2016 could never be attributed to her avoidance of the gun issue.
