(17,502 posts)how well did pollsters explain the current laws? If the respondents did not have the slightest clue what the current federal laws are, is it valid? Think about it, how many times have talking heads say "handguns are totally unregulated"? Norman Goldman told his listeners that.
about seven months ago Think Progress and others claimed anyone could buy a machine gun at a gun show with no background checks (the Al Qaida scare), and how many times over the years have politicians since the 1970s told everyone "anyone could just go to a gun shop in the next state" even though it already violated federal law since the 1960s if not the 1930s?
Mail order handguns? Not since 10 May 1927.
For all we know, current law could be the "stricter gun control" they favor.
