Isn't this just the "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" debate?

Do a majority of individual Americans support some kind of common-sense gun regulation reform because a "blue" media institution is beaming that message into the hive-mind, or because they individually don't want their kids to die in a pool of blood in their algebra classroom?

Trick question-- "red" and "blue" individuals BOTH want gun reform. Red INSTITUTIONS do not. Red INSTITUTIONS don't believe in climate change. Red INSTITUTIONS want tax cuts for the obscenely rich. These are just the low-hanging fruit. If you can name a couple of "blue" ones, does it constitute a disparity?
