      Many gun control proposals have strong majority support. They haven't become law because opponents care more, and use it as a litmus test in voting. The marches showed supporters care too. If they translate that energy into voting, the laws will change. If they don't, they won't.pic.twitter.com/L8qC9KRcDv

      Also when people hear how those policies are actually written and the implementation plans support drops.

      "I'm for mental health checks" "Were creating a federal registry of people who have depression" "You can't do that, this is America"

      There are many approaches to achieving various policy goals. A federal registry of people who have depression is far from the only possible approach to that one.

          That's not the point of what I said.

          It wasn't? Some ideas to achieve a given policy goal will always polls lower than others. You suggested that discredits polling about the overall policy goal (please correct me if I'm wrong). But I'd argue it just measures support for that particular approach.

          Generic policy solutions poll well, concrete legislation less so. The costs and complications are made clear. Support for various solutions are rolled in together in that kind of poll. I'm not suggesting it's not credible, just pointing out that it's more complicated.

          You'd suggested it was because the other side cares more. I was saying that's not necessarily why, just one part.

          Ah. Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense. Abstract goals are almost always an easier sell than detailed proposals.
