A Demographic to Win Over

Over the past two years, blacks’ views on this measure have changed dramatically. Currently, 54% of blacks say gun ownership does more to protect people than endanger personal safety, nearly double the percentage saying this in December 2012 (29%). [More]
One would think there would be natural allies against "amnesty" as well.

So how to overcome self-defeating, overwhelming support for gun-grabbing politicians...?

David, have you read through the actual full report (PDF)?

There is this:

Today, about six-in-ten whites (61%) prioritize gun rights over gun control. By contrast, only about a third of blacks say this (34%) while six-in-ten (60%) say it is more important to control gun ownership. And Hispanics prioritize gun control over gun rights by a wide 71% to 25% margin.

See that? Does the NRA still not care?
