NewsWorks Tonight host Dave Heller sits down for his weekly conversation with Gallup’s Frank Newport to talk about trends in American opinion.
Following Thursday’s mass shootings at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, we revisit public attitudes on background checks and stricter laws for gun ownership and use.
