Democrats are above Republicans on background checks, assault rifles and stricter sale laws, and Republicans are above Democrats on easier concealed carry and on prohibiting publication of owners' names. The gap on assault rifles is {fact:c_assault_gap_2013} points in 2013 and {fact:c_assault_gap_2021} in 2021; the gap on background checks is {fact:c_bg_gap_2013} points in 2013 and {fact:c_bg_gap_2021} in 2021; the gap on easier concealed carry is {fact:c_permits_gap_2013} and {fact:c_permits_gap_2021}; the gap on owners' names is {fact:c_names_gap_2013} points in 2013 and {fact:c_names_gap_2020} in 2020.",

In every one of the {fact:n_ces_itemyears} item-years the party expected to favor the item is higher, with an interval above zero. Bands are 95% confidence intervals that rest on a model.",
