    Wild that Republicans are becoming more in favor of gun control. Probably because they’re seeing more people on the left–especially non-white, and non-straight people–getting strapped since both Republicans and Dems have utterly failed to address the causes of violence. (Hint: the tools of violence don’t cause violence.)

      The change doesn’t really seem that great and there are years missing.

      Also “Gun laws should be stricter” is too vague for the range of policies involved. When a gun control advocate says that they might mean bans. Someone else might be talking about opening up the NICS or want to improve the background checks somehow. There are also a lot of people who don’t actually know the existing laws and want “stricter laws” we already have.
