比尔·克林顿(Bill Clinton)签署攻击性武器禁令之后,民主党在国会就失去了维持了四十多年的多数地位。2000年的总统大选中,如果民主党人阿尔·戈尔(Al Gore)没有试图将自己描述成在枪支问题上比其党内主要竞争对手比尔·布拉德利(Bill Bradley)更加倾向于变革,他可能有望当选为总统。2006年,民主党赢回参议院多数席位,他们的候选人中有一些是强烈支持枪支持有的人——弗吉尼亚州的吉姆·韦布((Jim Webb)、蒙大拿州的乔恩·提斯特(Jon Tester)以及宾夕法尼亚州的小鲍勃·凯西(Bob Casey Jr)——民主党候选人们还在枪支控制问题上实行了“沉默誓言,并让支持枪支持有的哈里·里德(Harry Reid)担任参议院多数党领袖。
After Bill Clinton signed his ban on assault weapons, Democrats lost the congressional majority they had held for four decades. Al Gore might have been elected president in 2000 had he not sought to paint himself as more liberal on guns than Bill Bradley, his Democratic primary challenger. Democrats won the Senate back in 2006 when they recruited gun-enthusiasts as candidates (Jim Webb in Virginia, Jon Tester in Montana, Bob Casey Jr in Pennsylvania), enforced a candidates’ vow of silence on gun control and then put the chamber under the control of a gun-friendly majority leader, Harry Reid.
