Technology has changed too much to make any sort of reasonable comparison of gun politics today with those of two hundred years ago. Certainly the national mood has shifted toward fewer restrictions on guns over the last generation.
- Retric 10y agoIf you want recent comparison then while gun technology has changed little, there has been a 10+% drop in private gun ownership from 1961 to now. Though there is some very high error bars on those statistics. Hunting has also become significantly less popular. These really are significant shifts is public behavior. And eventually public attitudes really do influence politics. IMO, advocating for the rights of gun owners is a losing strategy, you need to promote gun ownership.
