In an article by Don Surber the point is made again:
Handgun use is up, yet gun homicides are down, contrary to what the Brady Campaign has preached for a quarter-century.
Also noted in the article, people in general are wising up and realizing that the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is vastly important to our liberty and freedoms.
The Second Amendment has rebounded in the last half-century as support doubled since 1959, the Gallup poll reported. Nearly 3 out of every 4 Americans now opposes a ban on handguns — only 1 in four are for banning possession of a handgun. In 1959, 60% of Americans favored banning handguns — and only 36% opposed such an affront to the Second Amendment.

As a premise, we all have a right to live. That means we own and control our bodies. That establishes property rights. We have an innate right to defend our property from those who would take it from us. That means we have a right to the tools required to do that.
The Bill of Rights didn't grant us the right to own arms; it was acknowledged as a per-existing, innate right that the B of R recognizes and guards. Any effort to deny people this fundamental, natural right is, by itself, an act of aggression against the people.
So it's no surprise people want less, not more, gun control.
