Poll: Fewer Americans support stricter gun control laws - CNN.com

From 54% in 2001 to 39% now.

It's good to be right.

I'm willing to bet the drop in number, which is statistically significant I might add, is likely attributed to a combination of crime spiking as well as potential domestic threats.

"Nearly all the decline in support for stricter gun laws is from people who don't identify themselves as Democrats. Six in 10 Democrats still support stricter gun laws, but support has dropped 13 points among Republicans and 17 points among independents."

The above quote is taken from your CNN Link. Guess what, as you can read the poll is taken along party lines. Guess who is in control of all 3 branches of Government...

Independents put Obama in the WH. Let's see how well that works in 2012 with stricter gun laws.
