Hot Off the Press: Americans Favor Banning Assault Weapons

   I read that in 1993, a CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll found that 77 percent of Americans supported a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of semi-automatic assault weapons.
   And, I'm shocked. Have times changed?
   But, wait, there's more: Back then, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan supported banning semi-automatic weapons.
   Well, thinking surely a poll today would be different, I word search and am shocked, left tumbling down the stairs in surprise. This just out, hot off the press, hours ago: Two-thirds of America support a ban on assault weapons.
    The source? None less than a Fox News Poll.
