I could rephrase those questions slightly and get a totally different result, ie "Do you believe a father should have to get government approval before giving a .22 rifle to his son?" "Do you believe the government should decide what firearms families are permitted to have for home defense?"
Again, the links you originally referred to show a clear split between Tougher Laws and Status Quo, with Status Quo out performing Tougher Laws (and significantly more so if you include those who want more lax laws).
Colorado's bills are regarding background checks, and magazine size. Cap'n Obvious claimed it was the "feds" pushing it. I claimed it was public opinion pushing the feds. The data I wanted was for public opinion polls that would capture those two issues, background checks and magazine size. The first page of results (I limit to 10 per page) has Pew, Gallup, and this one: http://www.pollingreport.com/guns.htm
The fed's are pushing it. They get their minions in the media to do a poll. Of course the poll they do will slant left. The media push the poll results and the administration say's see, this is what the people want. Pravda would be proud.
Fair enough. In that case, I would agree that you have successfully proven your point. I thought you were talking about overall gun laws.
