GALLUP: MORE AMERICANS FAVOR SCHOOL OFFICIALS HAVING GUNS THAN WEAPON BAN

A new poll released today by Gallup shows that Americans favor increased security and proactive mental health treatment over gun control. - Lee Stranahan/Breitbart
An interesting fact somewhat buried is that when you combine the number of people who said a solution would be 'very effective' and 'somewhat effective', more people favored "arming at least one school official" over "banning the sale of semi-automatic weapons" by 64 to 63. Although the result is within the margin of error, it indicates that neither media nor political pressure on the gun control issue have made it overwhelmingly popular as a solution with citizens.
