I don't think 90% want guns confiscated. I think they want more control of handguns and other weaponry than the gun lobby seems to allow Congress to pass these days. We can all agree or disagree on a whole spectrum of things that could be done re: stopping the flow of guns into the market, but there is no right or wrong answer. There is obviously SOME amount of gun control most people are ok with. (For instance, most think people who have a history of mental illness or who have served time in prison for violent crimes shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm.
Based on my reading at the DUmp, at least 90 percent want all guns to vanish from the earth. If they can't get that, then they want an oppressive tax on ammunition, and a limit on magazines to about 5 rounds. I could bring over loads of posts advocating for everything I just said. To the DUmp, gun control consists of going back to black powder and single action revolvers. To us, gun control means hitting your target. It's a big divide. But most of America is on our side of the issue, not yours.
And to your point about mental illness and felonies. The laws on the book are quite sufficient. It's just a matter of enforcing them.
Sort of like border control - a little enforcement would go a long way to solving the problem. But, since the bill passed by the Senate has lots of
proposed border control, but leaves it up to the Homeland Secretary to decide what gets done, and when (a little fact never mentioned by the far left) I guess we'll just grant amnesty now and hope we get enforcement of the border later.
