Gun Control
In 2013, America is torn on the issue of Gun Control.
Susan Page, USA TODAY
"Four months after the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary
School, a USA TODAY Poll finds support for a new gun-control law ebbing

Americans
are more narrowly divided on the issue than in recent months, and
backing for a bill has slipped below 50%, the poll finds. By 49%-45%,
those surveyed favor Congress passing a new gun-control law. In an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in early April, 55% had backed a stricter gun law, which was down from 61% in February. Last week in the Senate, a bipartisan proposal for expanding background checks for gun buyers failed to win the 60 votes needed." Read more
