1993 polls show support. 1994 democrats in congress voted out. 2000 polls show support gore loses home state of tennessee over gun control and election. 2008 sen. obama ignores gun control wins. 2012 president obama ignores gun control wins again. 2014 polls show support for gun control after new town democrats wipe out again. mrs. clinton should win in 2016 despite her gun control but watch out for 2018 election.
