Gun Control & RKBA

(2,038 posts)43. Fact: There is NOT overwhelming support for more gun control laws.

I would also suggest searching for sources that help you develop an objective view point on gun owners as it is an incredibly small percentile that are troublemakers and the supremely vast majority are very responsible and prefer to take an educated approach to gun-control based on what could actually work to prevent gun violence without undue and impractical restrictions on gun ownership.
