And what does this graph signify to YOUR mind, Bbwian?
The article where the graph comes from has more to say than just your idiotically repeated single graph. Its main points are:
56% want stricter laws; 31% kept as they are now
Americans believe guns make homes safer rather than more dangerous
Steady 44% live in gun households
Americans See Guns as Enhancing Home Safety
Opposition to a handgun ban is consistent with Americans’ belief that having guns makes people’s homes safer rather than more dangerous. Currently, 64% believe guns make homes safer, while 32% believe they make them more dangerous.
Public opinion on this issue has shifted over time. When Gallup first asked this version of the question in 2000, a slim majority of 51% believed guns made homes more dangerous places to live. Americans’ views were evenly divided in 2004 and 2006, but by 2014, the majority had come to believe that guns made homes safer. Opinions have held steady since then.

In June 2022, lawmakers passed legislation removing regulations on firearms, allowing anyone to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.
“The mayors of big cities were saying that it was going to, they said we were going to have a wild west, and what the data shows is that didn’t happen,” Yost said. “That was just wrong.”
The data Yost are referencing comes from a
study by the Center for Justice Research that found gun crime decreased
in six of eight Ohio cities following this legislation.The Center for Justice Research is a partnership between the AG’s office and Bowling Green State University.
“This is not to downplay the very real problem of crime in many neighborhoods in our cities – you don’t need a research team to see that gun violence destroys lives, families and opportunity,” Yost said in a press release about the data. “
The key takeaway from this study is that we have to keep the pressure on the criminals who shoot people, rather than Ohioans who responsibly exercise their Second Amendment rights.”https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2024/01/03/gun-crimes-decrease-ohio"This may come as a surprise to gun control advocates, but not to us," said Dean Rieck, Executive Director of Buckeye Firearms Association (BFA).
"
So-called gun crime is overwhelmingly committed by criminals, those who are prone to break the law and who are generally prohibited from possessing firearms in the first place. The permitless carry bill we championed didn't change anything for criminals. It simply made it easier for law-abiding residents of Ohio, who are otherwise permitted to carry a firearm with a license, to carry without a license."
