A big issue (for gun control advocates) is that people who are for gun control have no other options but to vote democrat, because they agree with most other issues that fall bipartisan anyway. It's the moderates and the conservatives who tend to vote on this matter alone, and it's precisely why many democrats are afraid of voting for gun control. The Democratic party was cleaned out and took HUGE hits in congress after the 1994 act (which was packaged with other measures, by the way and was instituted in a time when most people were for gun control ( a strong majority rather than a lenient majority.)
