You are a few months behind and refuse to recognise that the tide is shifting. The kids in Florida will assure that gun control becomes a "single issue voting" for millions of millennial. . .and millions of their parents.
Several of those slides include up to October 2017. Additionally, we always hear the tide is shifting. Your own claim is that there have been hundreds of mass shootings since 2000. Why will this suddenly shift opinion like never before?
And the disgusting war that the GOP (with the help of the Russians trolls) are waging against those bright and courageous teenager will only make reasonable people more angry!
As I said previously, I hope they register and start voting as soon as they turn 18 - but again - we have seen this before - why does this suddenly shift the debate?
Even Trump had to already give a few crumbs to the cause. Have you heard about the new move on bump stocks? Not enough. . .but a real indication that the NRA and the politiciens with blood on their hands are running scared. They are trying to appease and take break the energy that has been unleashed. I sure hope they don't succeed!
There have been moves on those before. I don't fundamentally oppose bans on bump stocks or better background checks - but I don't see the argument that such a move would stop mass shootings...what am I missing?
By the way, your gallup polls trend stops at 2015. Maybe you should consider this latest gallup poll on how the majority feels about stricter gun control:

As I already responded to Old_Trapper - several slides I posted are through October of 2017. The trend lines are the trend lines. You can point to several times in the 25 year chart when support for stricter gun laws edged up etc - but that doesn't negate the overall trend at this time. That is simply a fact.
