Public support for stricter gun laws is substantial, and growing. [More]Or as they try to convince their Twitter followers:
Stronger gun laws are popular and necessary—and they’re also constitutional.Speaking of Twitter, this thread has some good rebuttal info.
Infringements will never be constitutional, but as for "popularity," they're working on it. Too bad "the gun lobby" doesn't have the stomach to even admit the threat, let alone do anything about it. Why, if they do, The New Yorker and other snotty media leftists will tar them as haters and extremists.
Like they don't already. And like silence on it buys us anything.

I've been reminding the 'gun lobbyists' for years of Justice Jackson's opinion on the Barnette case:

Law Abiding? Popular?
As Justice Jackson wrote:
"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials, and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights [including the right to keep and bear arms] may not be submitted to [a] vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."
