re: #320 Targetpractice
Wouldn’t trust Gallup these days to poll folks on which direction the sun rises. Meanwhile, Washington Post and ABC has support for an assault weapons ban at 58%:
Poll: Broad Support For New Gun Restrictions After Newtown
And Pew’s got it at 55%:
Pew: Majority Support For Bans On Assault Weapons, High-Capacity Clips
Perhaps it’s a difference in questioning whether they support current laws versus proposed ones, but it certainly seems like there’s momentum behind new laws going forward.
Even 55%, the way representation is distributed, would not move the ball.
The movement to bring changes to gun laws is not even in the ‘lunch counter sit-in’ phase yet.
