Given the reality of where gun control is and is not popular (It's popular in the urban northeast and California, and the political kiss of death in much of the rest of the country) it's entirely possible that those numbers are correct. Of course, polls are only as accurate as the pollsters and their samples.
BTW, didja notice how a few hundred people that showed up in DC (as reported by NPR) became the "Million Mom March" in 2004 to "Stop the Assault!"? Looks like a LOT of the "Million Moms" done run away...or became "Security Moms" on 9/11.
Clinton said that gun control cost the Democrats seats in Congress. Donna Brazille (sp? I'm talking about the african-american female Gore advisor/pundit) said gun control cost Gore the 2000 election by keeping him from winning his home state, which would have made Florida irrelevant. Why should I take your word over their word?
If dems want to keep pushing gun control on a national basis, that's fine with me.
