This week, Gallup
released the results of a poll which included a finding that should
surprise no one: Americans oppose a ban on AR-15s and similar semiautomatic
firearms by robust a margin of 17%. Meanwhile, current support for such a ban
is 7% lower than the historical trend dating back to 1996, when Gallup first
began polling on the issue. Americans, in other words, appear not to have
been swayed by the intense media editorializing, celebrity pontificating, and
youthful activism of the past year aimed at prohibiting what is by all
accounts the most popular types of rifles in the country.
