What percentage of Americans believed women shouldn't vote? What percentage of Americans thought slavery was a swell idea?
NO idea. Do you have polls. Since both of those things were fixed through the process, I'd say the majority won.
I know you're completely unaware of this, but America isn't a democracy. The majority doesn't get to vote to take away the rights of the minority.
Guy, there's no issue of "rights" here. This is an issue of whether or not it's good policy to let any nut buy a gun.
Your argument is that if you stop the nuts from having guns.. you'd have to stop everyone else from having them.
Which I'm actually okay with, but until you guys come up with something better to keep guns out the hands of nuts, this is the best we've got.
