If the Democratic Party were a five-year-old kid, it's bedtime ritual would be, "Mommy, check under the bed. Okay, now check in the closet. Leave the light on so you-know-who can't get me while I'm sleeping." Then, the party would lay awake in fear that it would once again have the dream-the nightmare where it's a midterm election year and the Boogie-Man, who looks exactly like gun control legislation, somehow ends up in front of Congress.
Consider Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer's rhetoric on the gun control issue.
He called it "a disaster" when Republicans backed tax cuts, he led a government shutdown when he didn't get his way on DACA, and he weeped like a Boehner when Trump issued his so-called "Travel ban." So now that the CNNs and Alyssa Milanos of the world have pressured Democrats into introducing gun control legislation which bans certain types of guns and treats due process like kindling for the big Constitution bonfire, what sort of hardcore rhetoric is Schumer going with? He said, "If we can get a good portion of it and not all of it, fine I'm not drawing any lines in the sand." Not exactly rousing leadership.
If tax cuts are "Armageddon" and rescinding DACA is tantrum-inducing, why isn't gun control worthy of the Democratic Party's customary 21-hyperbole salute?
That race could actually be an advantage to Democrats as long as they don't do anything stupid like, you know, give Heller a gun control bill to fight against.
If there were a shred of electoral capital to be seized by gun control advocacy, the Democrats would have seized it with their gun control gambits in 2013, 2015, and 2016.
In the end, any gun control bill voted on by Congress will be nothing more than a reminder of how completely unpopular the Democrats' sporadic attempts at gun-grabbing are.
