Gallup finds jump in support for gun control
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/257285-poll-more-americans-crave-stricter-gun-controlThe latest Gallup survey released on Monday said that 55 percent want more restrictive gun control guidelines, a total up from 49 percent the year before.
Support for keeping the current gun laws in place is also down 4 points, falling from 37 percent in 2014 to 33 percent now.
The number of people who want less-restrictive gun laws also dropped from 13 percent in 2014 to 11 percent this year.

Hmmm, with a mass shooting every single week so far this year, who'da thunk it.

You know who owns a large number of politicians and that is all they need.

and yet we even have some of those sociopaths right here on DU still, pretending to be Democrats and pretending to be part of some significant voting block that can swing elections.

"Else we throw the election to someone at the complete mercy of special interest lobbyists!"
They say, dutifully repeating the talking points of special interest lobbyists...

More killings = more support for gun controls. Bloody way to start to begin to think reasonably about the issue - martyrs to sanity.
