Earlier in the week, I highlighted some polling data indicating that support for various gun control measures is on the rise -- and that public attitudes are shifting toward the general notion that guns, not mental health or beefed up security, should be the focus on public policy to prevent mass shootings. Well, let's look at another fresh data point in this larger national debate, via NBC News and the Wall Street Journal's pollster. Are Americans becoming more hostile to the idea that gun ownership makes people safer? They are not:
Unlike the numbers I showcased a few days ago, this trend has been heading in the opposite direction. In other words, while gun control advocates have made strides in favor of certain reforms at the relative margins, they're losing the fundamental debate about guns (especially regarding the most common category of firearm owned by Americans). Also note the partisan split:

” Squire Hogg maintains that old gramps can’t figure out how to do an I message”
I’m thinking he’s mega knowledgeable on how to send an I-message, but not much more than that.
The generation he profaned is the same one who fought for and built this country into what it is with their knowledge and inventions. their work ethic and their perseverance.
Yet, this immature adolescent has zero respect for them because they likely have no use for modern phones.
58% is higher than it’s been but is lower than it should be.
That’s very good. Stupid, brainwashed sheep. Thank God there are plenty of young people with good heads on their shoulders who don’t fall for that indoctrination.
At least the youngsters protesting
today are outside getting lots of
vitamin D. They’re not holed up in
their rooms playing war games on their
X-Boxes.
He’s under the false assumption that kids have a right to privacy outside the bathroom. Apparently his father never removed his room door or stripped his room down to a bunk and a desk to reinforce that point.
But if they don’t like clear backpacks, they can join the ranks of other problem schools and have them banned altogether. Books kept in each classroom. Nothing through the door but a pencil and a spiral notebook. The kids want to feel safe and want order, they deserve an adult version of safe and order.
not to mention the two largest individual contributions to this little offbroadwaydrama today were from speculated presidential candidates, Clooney and Oprah, sycophants of Zero
“The brand of Left that has taken control of the Democrat party is extremist and very authoritarian, and its members have no problems with guns at all so long as they’re the only ones in the room with them. Nor do they have a problem with everything from personal jets to walls to political surveillance so long as they’re the only beneficiaries.
What is taking place in DC today is a carefully orchestrated campaign on the part of the wealthy and the privileged, and they have no intention whatever of giving up their access to anything at all.”
Excellent points.
You wouldn’t get that impression from watching the news today.
LOL! My mind needed a rest and watching these dolts would NOT have helped. Supposedly there is a gathering in down town Reno currently underway. Guess I’ll miss that brilliance too.
Gun control for thee but not for me is their motto.
Soooooo.....transparent backpacks. Are they going to demand transparent study books and notebooks too?
NO NO NO NO! They are against clear back packs since someones rights might be violat............ Oh. Wait, what?
Your heads are in the sand.
FL got gun control. VT is about to have a 10 round mag ban.
We are taking losses. War isn’t over but we have to do more than blithely say it’ll never happen. Donald Trump is not an ally anymore and it is easier to pass gun control with an R than a D.
I found the answer to your question - why the sudden anti-gun...

Keep ignoring the momentum shift. When Vermont gets a mag ban, one of the most pro gun states in America, you have serious impending problems.
Latest Economist/YouGov poll: They are using 10% more dems and 10% more women and an over sampling of independents.
Also this is adults/registered voters (for the generic) vs likely voters. Still the generic congressional poll was only dems +7%. With the typical effect on the on the other questions.
This is a very typical skew of the polls that are put out.
