Democrats war with Republicans; small towns are pitted against cities. Women and men are at odds, as are blacks and whites and old and young. North clashes with South, East with West.
“The current gun debate is more polarized and sour than any time before in American history,” said Adam Winkler, a constitutional law professor at UCLA and author of the 2011 book, “Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America.”
Still numb from the latest mass shooting, in Orlando, it’s easy to imagine that guns have always divided us this way. But a close look at survey data over decades shows they haven’t.
There was a time when most citizens favored banning handguns, the chief gun lobbyists supported firearm restrictions, and courts hadn’t yet interpreted the Second Amendment as guaranteeing a personal right to bear arms for self-defense at home.

fewer households have guns?
tell that to the record setting background checks
fewer people may admit to it
Adam Winkler is a shill for the anti-gun agenda.
There is absolutely no real disagreement at all between citizens over the "gun issue". There is no issue.
There is only the US Government doing everything in its power to remove guns from citizens. The media portrays a false narrative like Winkler.
Not surprising that this story is from CBS when they try these shenanigans like this reporter did trying to buy a gun to show how easy it was. She could be charged with a felony & put in jail for doing what she did.

Dave T: Thank you SBY for not only publishing the news, but publishing it in a way that is honest and accurate. I don't always agree with what I see in the news anywhere, but here I feel the people are honestly being given a chance to review what's happening and make their own choices and decisions about how they feel regarding that material. In an era when so many news agencies portend to be "for the people" when they are actually toting a political agenda it is a relief to have a place where one can feel they are able to simply read the news. Great article ! Thanks for publishing this and for everything that you do !
The estimated gun population is around 300,000,000 in the U.S.. Bring it!
I'm armed every day.
4:43 first thing I thought of.
