I couldn't read the WSJ article in the OP. Too many annoying ads.
But, I think it's premature to worry about "gun control" on a federal level 2017-2020.
Trump is in the White House and the GOP is solidly in control of the Senate.
The Republicans may not go along with any pro-gun bills. No rollback of gun control. No reform of the NFA. No easy silencers. No national carry permits or mandatory reciprocity for interstate travelers. But the Republicans won't give the Democrats anything from THEIR gun control wish list, either.
It will be status quo until at least the summer of 2021.
