58. The term "Gun Control" is fairly broad.
Are we talking about enforcing the over 20,000 laws already on the books or adding new laws. What new laws are needed to eliminate gun violence in your opinion?

The term "Gun control" could mean anything from registration to an outright ban. To just say "gun control" is not a killer issue? Depends on the details of your gun control plan. I own a couple of firearms including a handgun. I would support gun laws that make sense. I am not going to support nonsense that does nothing other than take firearms out of law abiding citizens hands.

There are some who equate new gun control laws as a way to fight the NRA. There are only a couple million NRA members but there are also over 80 million other people who own guns but have no NRA card. Some of those people vote.
