Poll: Gun Control Support Still Fading

by The Blog 
Despite Obama, Reid, and the gun-grabbers’ claim that “ninety percent” of Americans support stricter gun-control, a USA Today poll finds that support for increasing gun regulations continues to decline.

“Americans are more narrowly divided on the issue than in recent months, and backing for a bill has slipped below 50%, the poll finds. By 49%-45%, those surveyed favor Congress passing a new gun-control law. In an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in early April, 55% had backed a stricter gun law, which was down from 61% in February.
The survey of 1,002 adults was taken Thursday through Sunday by Princeton Survey Research. The margin of error is +/- 4 percentage points.”

The poll, which includes data collected during and after the Boston Marathon bombing, also suggests that individuals may be more inclined to protect the Second Amendment for purposes of self-defense.

“It wouldn’t be shocking if people sitting in their homes in Massachusetts cities and towns thought to themselves, ‘Boy, I wish I had something to protect myself with if a terrorist came through the door now.’”
