A majority of Americans think it is more important to protect the right to keep and bear arms than it is to control gun ownership, according to Pew Research Center polling, which showed voters’ general views on guns vary widely based on whether they support Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton for president.

Fifty-two percent of the general public placed a greater emphasis on protecting gun rights, while 46 percent said it’s more important to control ownership, according to the Pew survey.

There is some good and some bad in that poll/report.

We'll just have to work harder on the bad ones - at least we can now see where we need improvement.
