"An equal number, 56 percent, place a great deal of blame for mass shootings on easy access to guns....."

If this is true then there are a lot of uniformed gun owners out there. How can they say that guns are easy to get? It's not like buying a candy bar or computer. As for a lot of this polling "data", it's based mostly on perception or emotion rather than fact. Yeah, we "need" more laws to make people feel "secure".

If I may paraphrase an old saying, 'If poll results were horses, then beggars would ride'.

I trust these polls as much as I trust a Dem who says "I'm a gun owner, but......".

Unfortunately, there are a lot of sheep out there that believes this nonsense. Even if the poll was accurate, just wait a month or 2 and the polling numbers will dramatically change.

During the last election, according to the polls Hilliary was going to win.  I think that is a good indication of how accurate polls are.
