Pew: Gun Rights Outweigh Gun Control

At Boise State Public Radio, Bill Chappell reports: "For the first time in at least 20 years, significantly more Americans say it's more important to protect the right to own guns than it's more important to control gun ownership, according to the Pew Research Center. The survey found that more than half of Americans (52 percent) sided with gun rights compared to the 46 percent who favored gun control. The findings represent the continuation of a shift that was only briefly interrupted by the Newtown, Conn., school shootings in 2012." More here.

Question: Do you think gun rights are more important than gun control?
