tupperhappy: Support for more gun control by the vast majority of the public ...is a mile wide and an inch deep.
.. this figure includes about 80% of gunowners supporting bg checks, are they as shallow as well?
.. it's relative anyway, there's more fervor in gunnuts rallying behind any perceived threat to gunownership, no matter how ludicrous or off the wall or deceptive it is.
Gun collectors are under some dire misconception that their guns are going to appreciate in value over the years so as to make themselves a handsome profit after keeping their guns in pristine condition for decades, so there's that incentive to fork over money to the nra to protect that, even tho they're squandering any profits they might've realized, times over.
.. and we gun control advocates can't really get together at rallies & have a show & tell about how our background checks are going, or rant on about the awb efforts in our states, as can gunnuts strut about showing off their new handguns & holsters & ammo boxes & superclips. So gunnuts get the intensity factor hands down, that's about all you can say about your contention about inch deep. In comparison gunnuts are drowning in the swamp.
tupper: Of course you will get 90% in support of background checks. But the devil is always in the details. That's why you haven't seen anywhere near the success you thought you would in getting the banner's radical anti-Constitution agenda passed.
The devil is in the details? baloney, bs, rot, malarky, the devils live in the republican party, for manchin toomey compromise was defeated to appease gop legislators in the senate. There was no devil in those details, it was doomed by republicans from the moment democrats proposed & supported it.
This guy above thinks current guncontrol legislation is 'radical anti constitution agenda', I smell a GN.
Buh, BYE; go sell your tupper ware someplace else.
