Yes, but not necessarily in a way that makes federal legislation more likely.
Fifty years ago, gun-loving reactionaries were predominantly Democrats, and gun legislation was not a partisan issue. Supporters of gun rights were rightly feared by Democrats as single-issue swing voters. As a result, many Democrats could be intimidated into opposing gun legislation.
Today, things are different. The reactionaries are all Republicans. We’ve had an untold number of massacres, mostly with assault weapons. Like opposition to abortion and other culture war issues, guns are completely associated with the GOP. The Supreme Court, a majority of whom were appointed by Republicans, is also solidly pro-gun.
Where does this leave us? Federal gun legislation is impossible as long as the filibuster is in place. Gun restrictions are possible in blue states, because there aren’t many pro-gun swing voters among the Democrats. However, the Supreme Court is waiting to invalidate at least some of the new restrictions.
