So far we've seen one legit cite on the question of how do people feel about gun control laws. A majority think they should be stricter. A majority of respondents to that poll think gun laws should be stricter than they are. It wasn't particularly close either.
My issue with such polls is a lack of knowledge.
I'd wager a pretty large sum of money that 60% of the "stricter" respondents couldn't accurately describe the gun purchase process in their state of residence.
This is important because if you don't even know the requirements and procedures of purchasing a gun, how can you comment on where the laws should go?
Some are likely of the opinion that any purchasing process that allows anyone other than a police agency or military body to purchase guns is too lenient, so there's that.
There's also a large number of ignorant individuals who don't know what they're talking about.
