    Is there a threshold of sensationalism of such events that changes the number of states required to ratify the thing? That would change the number of supporting Congressional members?

    I’m amazed you still believe this is feasible despite the lack of support for such a measure.

      The number of states required doesn’t change, but maybe people will someday realise that the number of deaths by guns in the USA is ridiculous and they’ll vote for people who want to solve the issue.

        How likely is it any such shift is going to approach the 2/3 point necessary?

        I find it more likely voters will continue to reject such absurd hyperbolic appeals.
