And now the bad news....

For the NRA. While some people think that Democrats need to back away from a principled stand against the proliferation of the wrong weapons in the wrong hands to win elections, the latest CBS News poll on the question proves we've been right all along, according to most Americans.


"In general, do you think gun control laws should be made more strict, less strict, or kept as they are now?"

All respondents:

More Strict 51%
Less Strict 10%
Same 35%
Don't Know 4%

That's right. 86% of those polled think we've done the right thing about guns, and a majority think we should do even more. Even most Republicans agree that we shouldn't back off from current gun control standards, and 40% of them think those standards should be stronger.

And this is an issue some would-be national candidates want to run away from?
