"For the first time in at least 20 years, significantly more Americans say it's more important to protect the right to own guns than to control gun ownership, according to the Pew Research Center."

I HATE when people give protest signs to kids, but that sign does have a good point.

The major reason is the views of the black community. That is the largest change. Not sure what brought about the change. You would think the civil rights leaders would have VERY pro 2a.

The table that breaks down the demographics is pretty interesting. For instance, the 18-29 crowd is more in favor of gun control, but as the age increases the numbers shift. College graduates are heavily in favor of more control but the less education people have the more in favor of gun rights they are, and the urban demographic was 42% in favor of gun rights vs. 60% in rural areas. Really shows how a person's surroundings and life experience affects their opinion on the issue.

That being said, every group but 2 showed increased improval in the last 2 years-Hispanics, and....drum roll please...liberal democrats. Go figure.

You'd think that when literally everyone in the country is changing their minds it would incline you to maybe take a second glance at the facts, but that would be too much to ask I guess.
