My guess is not. Once you get out of NYC and some of the other big cities, there is A LOT of support for gun ownership in this country. Being in Italy, and only seeing what the mainstream media publishes, you might not get that.

In 1994 the then democratic congress passed a ban on sporterized (semiautomatic) "assault" type weapons. They then promptly voted out of power in congress. The ban was largely credited with that.

When the Democrats took back congress in 2006, there were calls from the left wing to impose tough gun control. These intensified after Obama was elected. It but it didn't go anywhere, because the Dem leadership knew that the backlash would crush them (although they seem to have found other ways to get crushed, hopefully.)

BBMW: my guess is that the majority of Americans would agree with LL about a place like Kennesaw Georgia and it's guns.

Or let me put it this way: if those agreeing with him were to leave the country.... wow....what a ThirdWorld country it would be.
