Support For Gun Control Highest Since Sandy Hookhttp://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/06/20/support-for-gun-control-highest-since-sandy-hook.html
"SNIP...........
Support for gun control reached its highest level since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, according to a new poll released Monday. A new CNN/ORC poll says that 55 percent of Americans now support stricter gun laws in the wake of the Orlando massacre. More specifically, 92 percent of respondents said they were in favor of expanded background checks, 87 percent said guns should not get in the hands of felons or mentally unstable people, and 85 percent want to forbid people on the no-fly list from purchasing firearms. The latter number includes 90 percent of Republicans and 85 percent of Democrats.

And they would have killed guns for the Fall.
Now, they stand with terrorists, domestic and international.
Buh-bye, Turtle.
