The Bryan and Caron cases corresponded not only to public opinion but also to the legal system. In many states, gun laws have become stricter and public opinion regarding these laws has changed. In 2009, as Figure 4 illustrates, the majority of the population believed that gun laws in this country had become too strict and the court responded to this situation.
