The pro-gun movement is scared. Despite recent victories at the federal and state level, there’s a demographic drop-off on the horizon, writes Alexander Zaitchik, who covered this year’s Gun Rights Policy Conference in Houston for Media Matters. Indeed, gun industry veterans joke that N.R.A. now stands for “Normal Retirement Age.”

“It’s the 25- to 35-year-olds who are going to replace you in ten years,” Andrew Sypien of the online gun retailer CheaperThanDirt.com said at the conference. “If you don’t get them, it’s going to die here with you.”

Charles Heller of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership believes that a “gateway gun” is all it would take to hook millennials. “Going from zero to one gun is the biggest change,” he said. “Going from one to 34 is not a big deal.”

The figure who inspires the most fear in this crowd, Zaitchik reports, is Michael Bloomberg, co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Alan Gottlieb, the bow-tied organizer of the conference, described Bloomberg’s support for state ballot-measures as “the biggest short-term threat to the movement.” His plan to counter Bloomberg’s influence is to organize a “Guns Save Lives” day on the anniversary of the Newtown massacre.

“We are not going to let the gun prohibition lobby own December 14,” Gottlieb said. “We will out-organize the other side and show America that there is a good side to guns.”

Next year’s Gun Rights Policy Conference will be held in Chicago. Here is today’s report.
