It's a poll so the margin of error is probably YUGE. Still, if little hoggmeister feels bad, that's good.

Don’t tell me people are getting their brains back. The Leftist Brain Sucking Machine must be broken.

Gun control support fades three months after Florida massacre

I guess the California (Palmdale HS, May 11th) and Texas (Santa Fe HS, May 18th) shootings didn't fit template.

Good thing to keep an eye on. It is interesting to note the temporary effect of an extraordinarily intense and expensive attempt in the media (especially CNN) to sway public sentiment on the issue. If it works long enough to get legislation in place, goes the theory, that will suffice and it will never go away. This is contrary to actual history on the issue, at least as far as the AWB went. Not so for other measures, such as the Gun Control Act of 1968 and and the FOPA - I’ll spell that out as a classic case of Congressional mendacity - Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986. So the ratchet has stalled as the public becomes aware that it is a ratchet, and the prohibitionist side must expend massive resources in money and lies in order to continue to twist it. That isn’t any progress toward freedom but it’s something.

While U.S. public support for more gun control measures has grown slowly but steadily over the years

Simply not true. Only true where the Looney Left is in control, in Huge cities.

No!

Media frenzy fades...

So in a progressives world, we need more mass shootings! That’s the leadership of fundamental social change.

I would say that gun control support refused to materialise after three months of fake polls and angry diatribes, so the media is moving forward to find a new way to get humiliated.

[Vendome]

I still use both hands when handling a firearm so, gun support is still strong with me...
