Original Message (snip)
Two months after shooting suspect James Holmes allegedly shot 12 people to death and injured another 58 in an Aurora movie theater, Coloradans are staunchly against stricter gun-control laws, a new Denver Post poll shows.

Fifty-six percent said it was more important to protect the right to own guns versus 39 percent who said controlling gun ownership and 5 percent who answered they weren't sure. Men tended to be more likely to defend gun ownership, with 63 percent supporting the right to own guns and 32 percent saying gun control was more important.

Women, meanwhile, were more divided on the question, with 49 percent saying the right to own guns was more important versus 46 percent saying gun control was more important.

The findings of the Post/SurveyUSA poll are similar to other, national polls that have shown Americans have softened their support for stricter gun controls in recent years despite mass shootings such as the one for which Holmes stands accused.

"Evil people are going to do evil things every now and then. You can't just clamp down on everyone's freedom in hopes that you're going to stop an evil person from doing evil to others one of these days."
