bill: ... the public by 57-34 percent now says that enacting new laws to try to prevent gun violence should be a higher priority than protecting the right to own a gun. That broad 23-point preference for new gun laws compares with an even 46-47 percent split in fall 2015.

A couple other reputable polls had even had 'gun rights' a bit higher than gun control efforts, couple years back.
Tis simply amazing, 57 - 34 ---- didn't think I'd see that before I croaked. Unless it's the carbanaro affect.
Problem is, how much staying power that stat has, since we all know about diminishing returns on gun issues.
More amazing, even men are at parity with it, 46% for, 45 no;
