good long while. we shouldn't expect i think that there's anything else going on. >> let's focus on what's in front of us -- the possibility or lack thereof anything approaching gun legislation. here's paul ryan on that faint possibility. >> we shouldn't be banning guns for law-abiding citizens. we should be focusing on making sure that citizens who should not get guns in the first place don't get the guns. that is why we see a breakdown in the system here. >> there shouldn't be much question about what happens with the republican-controlled house or senate, nothing. maybe something on background checks. the question really is, as we approach 2018, do you think democrats will coalesce around gun rights as a political issue, or is that too hot for the democratic party either? >> i think it's going to be a main issue, something they will come back to. i don't think it will ever be the top issue.
