How Do Americans actually feel about stronger gun laws?

Two journalists in Virginia gunned down on live television by a man who also injured a third person. Two women shot and killed, along with nine other people who were injured and survived, inside a Louisiana movie theater. Nine parishioners massacred inside a South Carolina church.
Each horrifying burst of violence captured widespread attention in ways the daily cavalcade of people shot and killed across the United States rarely does, breaking through what has become a fog of pain and misery so ubiquitous as to sometimes seem like background noise. Each shooting prompted calls for stronger gun control laws, which were in turn followed by the usual reminders that such laws were unlikely to follow.

Here is the "logic" behind those arguments: "the laws are not being followed now, so we need more laws that won't be followed."
Restricting MY rights has no effect whatsoever on the actions of a criminal.

No, not at all SSG Stephen Arnold, The laws on the books right now need to be strictly enforced, instead of sometimes enforced, depending on who you are.

That was not MY logic. It IS the logic behind the arguments for more gun control legislation.

It's just common sense; if you outlaw firearms, only criminals will have them.

We cannot sit around and expect the authorities to protect us. These are the same people that release criminals back on to the streets and allow the dangerously mentally ill to roam about us.
It is almost impossible to know who will snap next or go on their next criminal spree. You might want to consider being ready to protect yourself. Even without a gun many of these folks are dangerous. Knives, clubs and other weapons are just as lethal in the hands of someone with intent.

That's old hat Sgt Cody Dumont. People pull the triggers on the guns that fires a bullet that kills a person. If you shot someone, would you say I didn't kill that person, my gun did? How far would your defense get in court? Tougher laws are needed,not on the guns, but on the user if they use it to commit a crime. They get life, which to the loved one of the person killed, is a slap on the wrist. There's too many loopholes protecting the murderers, rapist, and thieves.
