For example ask people to vote on ‘universal background checks’ alone, you’ll probably get a majority voting in favor.
If you ask if a gun owner should give their guns to a trusted friend of family member for safekeeping if they feel depressed or suicidal, most people would also say that was a good idea.
Of course they wouldn’t realize they had just criminalized it.
Yea, I can agree to that. Let's say then that we can't make determinations, but can tell when something is just definitely not true, like 90% of gun owners definitely do not support ending private sales.

Man, whole separate topic right there! People not realizing what gun laws say vs mean is so common it seems like it's by design.
