The Spin
Right narrative
Democrats are constantly trying to find ways around laws they don't like — even if that means writing new, unconstitutional laws. The Supreme Court in its Bruen decision set the standard gun laws have to meet to withstand a challenge, yet California still came out with a law that has a ludicrous amount of places lawful citizens can't carry their guns. Democrats seem to get a kick out of stifling freedom.
Democratic narrative
By every measure, polling shows overwhelming, bipartisan support among voters for limits on the types of guns that can be sold, who can possess a gun and where, and how one can purchase a gun. But because gun control doesn't influence who citizens vote for, Republicans ignore the desires of the electorate and continue to allow guns to proliferate and make the country less safe.
