gallup: In general, do you feel that the laws covering the sale of firearms should be made more strict, less strict or kept as they are now?

I do not understand what you are bragging about. By a 52% to ~47% margin, americans want stricter guns laws re firearm sales than those opposed or neutral, notwithstanding 'kept as now' voters who think they are fair enough. While that's near parity it still comprises a slim majority of support for stricter firearm sales laws. This would equate to about 140 million american adults wanting stricter gun laws, and you strut about because this fell off a few million?
Your OP thread title is misleading, since just a few aspects of gun control have declined in support; you evidently {edit: mislead} out of misinterpreting what you read in the report you linked to.
Here are other polls accessed from your link:
Quinnipiac, apr 2021, albeit a year old: More than 6 in 10 Americans (62 - 33 percent) say there should be restrictions on gun owners who want to carry guns in public places.
A plurality of Americans, 48 - 40 percent, think the United States would be less safe if more people carried guns.
Pew, sept 2021, near same date as gallup poll: Roughly half of Americans (53%) favor stricter gun laws, a decline since 2019, according to the Center’s April 2021 survey. Smaller shares say these laws are about right (32%) or should be less strict (14%).
Mirrors your gallup link, near parity with slight edge to stricter gun laws, vs status quo or less strict.
I'm wondering if your next thread might see you strutting about with: 'Support for universal background checks slips to 92%, lowest support in two decades'......
