Some good news: support for gun control has dropped from 64% to 52% (keeping in mind that I know nothing of the questions asked or other methodology used for this poll, but Rasmussen is one of the better research outfits).

My own observation: I am getting questions from non-gun-owners about purchasing guns and obtaining training. I am also getting questions from people who are not shooters but somehow or another came to own a gun and are interested in learning specifically about self-defense. The first time gun owners, some of whom live in states with strict laws, are quite surprised to learn that buying a gun is more difficult than they previously believed. This reflects reports I have read on this forum as well as in the news about gun dealers seeing first time buyers react to learning just how strict the gun laws are currently.
