Anti-gun forces took the U.S. Senate and House in 2026 and trifecta control in Arizona and Wisconsin, with Georgia and Texas governorships and houses possibly flipping. Voters cited the economy and living costs not gun control, which Democrats and Everytown ads downplayed, while Florida stayed pro-gun. Abigail Spanberger later banned AR-15s in Virginia, James Talarico backing that ban won Texas Senate, Abdul El-Sayed limiting arms to muskets won Michigan, and the NRA founded in 1871 led spending and a 13-state Gun Bus tour seeking support.
