On the national level, nothing is going anywhere because Republicans control the Senate (and Presidency) and have no interest in passing bills with anything resembling gun control because their constituents don’t believe in compromising an iota on this.

One of the issues is a minority of people control the country. As long as we have undemocratic systems like the Senate and Electoral College, this will always be an issue. And that's not even talking about the dumb filibuster rule.
