Michael Eric Dyson reported this Monday on the Ed Show that while a recent Pew poll found only 45% of Americans favor the broad idea of stricter gun laws, polls asking more specific questions paint a completely different picture.

For example, take a look at these figures:

88 percent want to prohibit those on the terror watch list from buying guns (January 2011 American ViewPoint/Momentum Analysis poll)

86 percent believe in further background checks, regardless of where a gun is purchased (January 2011 American ViewPoint/Momentum Analysis poll)

69 percent want to limit the number of guns a citizen can buy in a period of time (April 2012 Ipsos/Reuters poll)

66 percent want a National gun registry (January 2011 American ViewPoint/Momentum Analysis poll)

63 percent want a ban on high capacity clips (January 2011 CBS News poll)
