| Mr Khan said: As a whole, Americans support sane gun control. Bans are indeed unpopular, but few outside of the militia crowd are opposed to wait periods and appropriate mental health and crime restrictions as well as closing the gun show loophole. Smart guns are also a popular idea held hostage by the militiamen. There's blessedly less demand for abortion because more people are practicing safe sex nowadays. The whole SSM thing has been forfeited in favor of all of this "freedom to discriminate" malarkey, however. They're just switching tactics. |
The trends seem to be similar for both extreme gun control and controls in general. The last poll I've seen on the background checks was right after a year of some bad shootings (Aurora, Sandy Hook, etc.)
