"...
Partisans are also deeply divided over whether it is more important to control gun ownership or protect gun rights, according to the September survey. Eight-in-ten Republicans say it’s more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns than it is to control gun ownership, while just 21% of Democrats say the same. That 59 percentage point partisan gap is up from a 29-point gap in 2008."

(Emphasis is mine.)

Just a few statistical guesses on my part:
* In the coming election, key will be winning the battleground states. Some of those states are Republican strongholds.
* None of the 21% of Democrats favoring protecting the RKBA over enhanced regulations will vote for trump.
* However, 20% of Republicans with the opposite view may ditch trump and vote for a Dem who they see as serving them.
* A Republican vote against trump is like 2 Democratic votes for a Democratic candidate.

What changes to gun laws, in your opinion, would be most acceptable to a trump hating Republican?
