It's seen as culture war.

The gun-control side continues to believe that much of what it proposes is both reasonable and effective. To people that are familiar with guns and how they work, however, it's generally seen as a farce. Connecticut's assault weapons ban didn't stop the slaughter at Sandy Hook, for example despite having nearly two decades to work.
