At this point, what state governors and legislatures do has little to do with what the people of that state - let alone of the country generally - want. Let's look at real data.

57% think gun laws should be more strict.

This time it's 64%. Yes, it is true that Americans want stricter gun laws. Your made-up reasons why Americans oppose gun control are Not Even Wrong when in fact there is no such opposition.

Majority of the population doesn't understand the gun laws that exist now. Democrat politicians advocate for laws that currently exist.
