Most don’t choose to interpret what they read in the most literal sense possible.

American gun culture scares even a majority of Americans themselves.

Incidentally we just concluded yet another trial determining the fate of yet another teenage shooter who committed yet another mass murder in yet another high school. Do we need to continue this debate?

You use the term "majority" pretty hastily.

Are you speaking in terms of liberal city-dwellers, or all areas of America?

We're up to half of the country adopting permitless concealed-carry, with others in the process. Doesn't sound like the majority of the country to me.

I am using the term majority in a very traditional sense.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/09/13/key-facts-a...

48% of americans think gun violence is a “very big problem”, 24% “moderate problem”, and 22% “small problem”.

2% think it’s “not a problem at all”.
