        @WSJ Yes, but do they want to ban certain guns or do they want to just keep them away from high-risk individuals?

        @WSJ "New Gun Laws" is quite vague. When you for specific changes (like assault rifles) that number is much higher.

        @WSJ In the business, we call that a "minority," not mention "new gun laws" could mean anything and is too vague to be meaningful.
