X-ring. Going back to the historical data provided, not the snippet that was run & grabbed on by the morning papers, even tying it to dates of things like Columbine & VA Tech shows the survey subjects didn't regard large amounts of legislation as being a tool to legislate behavior. With 18sec till commercial break most information consumers won't get it & don't dig for it. Could be a more aged (and less secure) demographic (over a decade or more), lots of factors impact surveys.
I wonder how many, if asked, would know that Columbine happened 5 years after the start of the first AWB, smack in the middle of a period of law that was marketed to them as making them safer, and that the GFSZA had been in place for 9 years.
