    So am I, that’s why a third of people oppose stricter gun control laws. Without the constant misinformation/disinformation campaigns on social media and other platforms it would be over 90% in favour of stricter gun control laws.

    You see how that works? You didn’t actually present an argument, you just assumed you are correct without any need of supporting your claims, and the argument goes nowhere.

      The fact that the media reports shootings in the vicinity of schools as school shootings to pump up the numbers is evidence on my side.

        Evidence for what? That people don’t want what they want? You have provided no evidence that people don’t actually want what they say they want, and no arguments as to why they shouldn’t want that. For someone that was previously so concerned about “what the public wants” you are pretty quick to dismiss what the public wants.
