No Change in Views on Gun Control

A new Pew Research survey finds there has been no significant change in public views on the issue of gun control following the July 20th shooting at a Colorado movie theater. Currently, 47% say it is more important to control gun ownership, while 46% say it is more important to protect the rights of Americans to own guns.

That is virtually unchanged from a survey earlier this year in April, when 45% prioritized gun control 49% gun rights.
