Through the years, Republicans have beaten Democrats when it comes to catchy slogans and talking points, which has pushed the narrative into their favor many times. This has especially been the case when it has come to gun control. Perhaps this has something to do with taking words at surface value. When hearing the words "gun control," many then shout back, "I don't want anybody controlling my guns!," just as when the Patriot Act came along, many probably thought, "Well, that sounds patriotic!" Indeed.
So, what I think we may need to do is alter the words "gun control" to something else, or at least come up with better slogans to coincide with it. Studies show that a majority of people favor specific gun control legislation, however, when asked about "gun control" in general, slightly less than 50% support it oddly enough. So, here are some of my suggestions:
Only toy guns for tots
No firearms for felons
Internet's for porn, not guns
Assault weapons are for pussies
Mentally insane should not shoot again
Gun control for the criminal, violent, and mentally unstable
