Contributing sentiments towards policy:
49% : In his opinion for the majority striking down a New York state law that placed strict limits on carrying a gun outside the home, Justice Clarence Thomas unhelpfully explained that when it enacts gun laws, "the government must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation."48% : "Properly interpreted," they wrote, "the Second Amendment allows a 'variety' of gun regulations."
44% : The Post's View: The Supreme Court supercharges the Second Amendment
39% : The upshot: Proponents of stronger gun control need to keep pushing -- to restore the ban on assault weapons, to enact universal background checks, to raise the age for gun purchases, to establish gun buyback programs and much more.
