Had a chat with a former US military weapons instructor recently. His take is that generally most gun owners would have little to no issue with some degree of improved regulation and increased licensing/gun-safety requirement. The issue is that the horse has already bolted for the most part in terms of being able to ban certain weapons and the sheer volume of money going to politicians from the arms industry via the NRA means that any hint of change immediately escalates into screeching from the recipients of that money.
His broader insights were interesting in terms of generally how terrible people are about personal gun safety and he actively avoids going to ranges in favour of shooting outdoors
