Storm Clouds on horizon... Latest NYT/CBS poll out on gun control [View all]

Democrats are starting too lose big on Gun Control...Imagine that.....Who could have predicted such?!

History is starting to repeat itself.

What has shifted notably are attitudes on gun control. Only 44 percent of Americans favor a ban on assault weapons, 19 percentage points lower than after the mass shooting in Tucson in 2011. And while 51 percent favor stricter gun control in general, that is down from 58 percent in October.
