most (anti) gun laws are sponsored and promoted by anti-gunners who want to ban ALL guns no matter how UNreasonable or NON-sensible that is. The gunnies know this, and so take each attempt to do so personal.
Freedom is a tough thing to surrender willingly, or even to intrust to those who can not be trusted, and who don't trust you back.
From the same CNN poll story (49% favor more control)quoted below:
"But public anger is not usually sustained very long, whereas gun owners remember every gun control vote as a threat to their rights. Gun owners vote the issue. Supporters of gun control typically don't. So politicians believe they will pay a price at the polls if they support new guns laws, even when most voters agree with them. When it comes to public opinion, intensity matters. Not just numbers.
