| House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi promised South Florida gun-control activists that universal background checks would be among Democrats’ top priorities if the party wins control of the House in the midterm elections. |

| “We often hear the term ‘gun culture’ being thrown around as invective,” says David Harsanyi in his new book, First Freedom: A Ride Through America’s Enduring History with the Gun. But “‘gun culture’ is no less part of American life than ‘religious culture’ or ‘speech culture.’ As our history unambiguously illustrates, gun culture is inextricably tied to American culture. One cannot exist without the other.” |

|
| Gun control was supposed to be the issue of 2018.
