But, the issue isn’t nearly as straightforward as it seems.
==============
Everybody agrees that the Florida school-shooter shouldn’t have been allowed to buy a gun … and, that there was a strong case to take his rifle away from him.
More broadly, a Pew poll taken in March-April 2017 indicates that almost 9 in 10 Americans agree that “the mentally ill should be prevented from purchasing guns”.
That’s the highest level of agreement re: discussed changes to gun laws.
Since there’s overwhelming support, this one should be a slam dunk, right?
Not so fast …
