How the Second Amendment fared in the midterms

The short version: better than you might think, but not as good as you were probably expecting.

We’ve already gone over some of the highs and lows of the Election Day here, from the sweep of Constitutional Carry governors winning re-election to the too-close-too-call races in Colorado’s Third Congressional District (where Lauren Boebert is a few thousand votes behind her Democratic opponent) and Oregon, where the gun control initiative Measure 114 is also narrowly ahead on the ballot, so I won’t spend a lot of time talking about those particular elections in this post.

Instead, I want to focus on what happens next.
