The polling here is problematic. I’ll explain why in a thread — and on air.
This is one question. First of all, the terminology is incorrect (this matters for a couple reasons) and who determined over 10 rounds means “high-capacity?” In some, that isn’t even standard, it’s below standard. 
It’s like the people crafting the questions weren’t familiar enough with current law to accurately conduct polling. BGCs are standard (unless you’re in antiquities or legal and still-regulated transfer, neither of which are part of income) and online buys MUST go thru FFL.
OK, so this law already exists, but in combination with due process. Get a psych hold, PO, etc to render ineligible a dangerous person. The new red flag proposal removes any and all due process.
Apparently recidivism, pattern of reducing penalty for or dismissing altogether charges for felony gun crimes isn’t part of this, despite driving the homicide rate of felonious activity involving an illegally possessed firearm. Also not mentioned: actually following current law.
The likelihood that those being polled think this means full-auto firearms is high. That’s the error in using made-up terms.
