author first wrote: .... regardless of which survey you prefer, the decrease in household ownership rates is unmistakeable.

author then wrote: There's no question that gun rights groups like the NRA are winning the battle for hearts and minds on the issue. A December 2014 Pew Research Center poll showed that for the first time in two decades, there is more support among Americans for gun rights than gun control.

How can the author contend there is 'no question' when it's one poll? and within the margin of error there could possibly be parity. Has author never heard of confidence levels? where one poll out of 20 is even outside the margin of error? (ie way off, 95% {edit} confidence level).
How can the NRA be 'winning the hearts & minds on the issue', when gun ownership is falling & has generally been falling for 20 years? If falling gun ownership rates is the nra 'winning', well hooray!
Until the Pew poll is corroborated by another reputable poll, or perhaps corroborated by the next pew poll on the question, I can't support what author says there about being 'no question'; although I certainly do consider pew a reputable poll.
