Consider the demographics of a state. Progun legislation may continue in traditionally progun areas. However, two things are important:
1. New folks moving into states dominated before by rural areas. Urban folks may not be gun purists. They may think that having an SD gun is fine but support stringent background checks, Red flags and don't see the need for Modern Weapons of War (oh, dear). They see themselves as passing background checks, not being turned in the purge or defending whatever with an assault style rifle.
2. Rampages that continue unchecked will erode opposition to UBCs, Red Flags and banning military style semi autos even among those previously opposed to restrictions.
Shoot up a school with kids with an AR, and you better have a better rationale for owning them, than 'shall not', 'God given', 'the socialists are coming'.
