In the years leading up to the pandemic, protests and debates regarding the availability of guns to Americans reached a fever pitch in light of a string of high profile mass shootings that took place over the past decade.
But while there has yet to be a holistic conclusion to those debates, the matter seemed to fall in priority last year.
Instead, the nation had to split its focus between the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tumult of the 2020 Presidential Election, and the unprecedented growth of protests against police brutality and systemic racism among other concerns.
