THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING: Gun Control Crew Remains ‘Optimistic’ after Trump Victory.

At the six month anniversary of the Pulse night club massacre, gun control advocates were optimistic about the future of their gun control agenda.

John Feinblatt, the president of Everytown for Gun Safety, noted that voters in three states approved ballot initiatives strengthening gun control. The initiatives in Nevada, Washington and California — which were strongly opposed by the NRA — prevailed on the same day that Americans elected Trump, who has vowed to pass gun-friendly laws at the federal level.

“State by state is the way we’re going to win it,” Feinblatt said.

Stay on guard, of course, but changing opinions against gun control has been perhaps the biggest grassroots success story of the last 30 years.
