RF> people and their rights. It comes down to numbers, there are more
RF> votes for a canidate that supports strong gun control than there are
RF> those that oppose it! These
The polling data I've seen over the years convince me otherwise.
Now I know you've seen polls quoted in the papers and on TV that show a 
majority supporting gun control, but they never show how those results 
were obtained. Gun control questions are context sensitive. If the 
question is asked in connection with questions about crime, people 
support gun control. If the question is asked in connection with 
questions about civil liberties, people are opposed.
The real question is how the issue plays in the context of elections. 
The fact is, there are many more people who consider the right to keep 
and bear arms to be of such overriding importance that they will vote 
solely on that issue. Most of the people favoring gun control are more 
concerned with other issues.
