Normally one does not involve an official's family in political issues... unless the family member involves herself. As Chelsea is doing here.
Chelsea is saying that, now that Antonin Scalia is dead, Democrats have a chance to legislate more restrictions on law-abiding people owning and carrying guns.
It's the same attitude one hears from bank robbers when they learn that the bank guard is gone.
This has been tried literally hundreds of times. And there is no evidence that restricting law-abiding citizens has any effect on criminals assaulting, hurting, and murdering people with a gun.
The only effect seems to be the disarming of the law-abiding, particularly in the Democrats' "gun free" zones, thus making them easier targets for the criminals.
I feel sorry for Chelsea being brought up by leftist extremists. She's falling for the same tripe the rest of them do.

Chelsea Clinton: Gun Control Opportunity on Supreme Court With Scalia Gone

Chelsea Clinton said Thursday at an event in Maryland that there is now an opportunity for gun control legislation to pass the Supreme Court since Justice Antonin Scalia passed away.
“It matters to me that my mom also recognizes the role the Supreme Court has when it comes to gun control. With Justice Scalia on the bench, one of the few areas where the Court actually had an inconsistent record relates to gun control,” Clinton said. “Sometimes the Court upheld local and state gun control measures as being compliant with the Second Amendment and sometimes the Court struck them down.”
Clinton then touted her mother’s record on gun control issues and knowledge that the Supreme Court has an effect on whether many gun control laws stand.
“So if you listen to Moms Demand Action and the Brady Campaign and the major efforts pushing for smart, sensible and enforceable gun control across our country, disclosure, have endorsed my mom, they say they believe the next time the Court rules on gun control, it will make a definitive ruling,” Clinton said.
