Townhall has an interesting story.
Only 25 percent of Americans support banning handgun ownership, according to a Gallup survey released Friday.
“The new poll also finds public opposition to banning handgun ownership holding at a record-high 74 percent….Recent attitudes on this are markedly different from the 1980s, when barely half of Americans opposed a ban on civilian handgun ownership. It is also a major turnaround from a half century ago, when only 36 percent opposed such a ban.”
Overall support for stricter gun control has also dropped nine percentage points since December 2012.

As long as the Bill of Rights are understood as individual rights not subject to collective mores, will be OK.
