I don't think there's such a thing as 'proof' in politics, really - so God knows if I'm right. (I also don't think I need to provide any here - Wikipedia this isn't.)
But since I live in Texas and I'm a life member of the NRA, I do know a lot of people who are very passionately against any form of gun control, especially when coming from the federal government. I also trust the political instincts of Bill Clinton, who always struck me as a sharp politician:

While some polls show that the public by-and-large supports several proposals for increased gun control, Clinton said that it’s not the public support that matters — it’s how strongly people feel about the issue.
“All these polls that you see saying the public is for us on all these issues — they are meaningless if they’re not voting issues,” Clinton said.
