TL;DR: The gun control efforts were generally unsuccessful as mentioned in this paper and the pro-gun lobby gained some marginal benefit from an increase in the number of gun owners, and from greater support for right to carry legislation.
Abstract: How did September 11 affect the gun control debate in the United States? The gun control lobby attempted to use terrorism fears to promote some of their long-standing action items—such as restrictions on gun shows, and bans on .50 caliber firearms. The gun control efforts were generally unsuccessful. The pro-gun lobby gained some marginal benefit from an increase in the number of gun owners, and from greater support for “right to carry” legislation.
