It's extremely weird if you've never paid any attention to US politics. Abortion and same-sex marriage are just two recent examples where the federal government actively worked against an overwhelming majority opinion. When you call everything unprecedented, it erases history.

It's incredibly weird that folks have convinced themselves that the Covid vaccines - which had an ~82^% take up rate - were unpopular.

Also, background checks for gun purchases is supported even more than the COVID vaccine. Is there a federal law requiring it? No. Can we expect one any time soon? Also, no. The longer it takes us to understand that anti-vax groups act like the NRA or anti-abortion groups, the worse it will get.
