All the gun grabbers in the U.S., mostly Democratic Party voters, have been pushing hard for gun grabbing policies, being fired up and enthused because of the shooting at the school in Florida, backed by all the astro-turfed groups with their deep-pocketed gun grabbers like Michael Bloomberg (who have armed security). Never let a good crisis go to waste, right? So, shot
Giffords gun-control group targets NRA-friendly Florida congressman with ad
Yeah, let’s go after Congressman responding to a group engaged in their 1st Amendment Rights of free speech, protesting peaceably, and petitioning for redress of grievance. Democrats love taking away citizen’s rights because of Wrongthink.

Gun control might not be top issue in 2018 elections, Florida poll finds
Gun-control policy has received enormous attention in the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre — but a poll of state voters suggests it may not be as potent as some newly minted activists are hoping.
In the survey, the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative asked 1,000 registered voters to identify “the most important issue in the upcoming elections.â€
Gun-control policy was picked by 12 percent — far behind immigration, cited by 23 percent, and health care, cited by 20 percent. The gun issue was statistically tied with the economy, picked by 13 percent.
Whoops!
Gun-control policy was cited as the most important issue by 16 percent of Democrats, 14 percent of independents and 5 percent of Republicans.
Immigration was cited as most important by 33 percent of Republicans, 18 percent of Democrats and 18 percent of independents.
Unfortunately, there is no direct link to the poll, but it seems to be looking at this one, if you want to dig into the details. Regardless, it seems that gun control is not particularly important, except for the kids 18-34. One wonders how this would carry in other states. Probably not well.
BTW, only 5 percent cite Russia Russia Russia as important.
