5. That's exactly what the gun rights group said about the PEW poll that

showed more than 50% of respondents favored preserving gun rights over gun control; the same wording over time so it must be accurate. The difference is that PEW questioned their own data because the very same poll showed large margins supporting gun control policies like UBC and Assault Weapons Bans. How could the two seemingly divergent views be reconciled? One possibility is that although the question was the same the environment in which it was asked has changed, i.e. 45 years of framing the argument as "confiscating all the guns" has made the words "gun control" a pejorative even though most people support sensible restrictions on guns and the behavior associated with them.
