I almost suspect the “best and the brightest” in the gun control movement have moved on to other things.
Here’s an article making the point that it was easier to get folks riled up about gun control when President Trump was in office because President Trump’s image was pro-gun and the gun control crowd could tap into the virulent anti-Trump hatred to push their agenda. Now that he is gone, they can’t stir the pot with that stick anymore.

Despite the calls we hear for more gun control I’m seeing anti-gun messages that I really don’t understand and I suspect are not effective.
Maybe I’m not smart enough, woke enough or relevant enough to understand this stuff but I suspect others aren’t going to be impressed with this stuff either. Here’s a couple of examples of gun control stuff that I think are almost totally ineffective.
The first is an article about billboards that supposedly are anti-gun and supposedly anti-white supremacy. Here’s a link to the article and looking at the billboard and neither the anti-gun nor the anti-white supremacy message comes across to me and I don’t think it will come across to other folk either.
I think it is just an odd billboard that maybe says people should stop shooting people but it’s not really very clear on that point.

The last point is a Samantha Bee, Full Frontal TV show that I haven’t seen but I read about. In it she takes aim at guns (pun intended and there is no surprise there) but the point she tries to make has somebody taking off all the safety equipment on a modern mini-van, (seat belts, bumpers, air bags, padded dash boards, lights etc., etc., etc.) and claiming our guns today would be SOOOOO much safer if only we had insisted that manufacturers make them safer. My point is this, the destruction of the mini-van is so ludicrous that I think the anti-gun folk have lost their message on this one.

Again, I almost suspect the “best and the brightest” in the gun control movement have moved on to other things.
P.S. I actually watched the Samantha Bee video. It's full of the usual anti-gun stuff but the car/gun safety thing starts at the 7:45 mark and it is as goofy and, IMhO ineffective, as I've mentioned.
