Hm. Forbes doesn't seem to think you are accurate.
Has Public Opinion Really Changed Regarding Gun Control? - Forbes
On the whole, the article seemed well-enough written, but this bit jumped out at me,as a rather amazing cluster of ignorance…
Today, the biggest social issue is gun violence, and the Second Amendment right that allows Americans to own all kinds guns, including powerful military style carbines like the Smith & Wessen [sic] M&P15 semi-automatic and Bushmasters used in recent public shootings.
“…powerful military style carbines…”? By definition, isn't a carbine a relatively low-powered rifle, many of which take ammunition that is intended primarily for use in pistols? Certainly,the specific firearms named here are not carbines, being too powerful to be thus classified, although they are still less powerful than a common hunting rifle.
