Glen Reynolds (Univ of Tennesee Law-http://www.instapundit.com reports with links: "EUGENE VOLOKH [UCLA Law] REPORTS that although a recent Freedom Forum poll shows support for press freedom declining, it shows support for another constitutional right growing: LIBERAL GROUP FINDS THAT 79% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE "THE RIGHT TO OWN FIREARMS" IS "ESSENTIAL" (48%) OR "IMPORTANT" (31%). Yup, that's what the Freedom Forum First Amendment Center's State of the First Amendment 2002 survey (1012 respondents) finds. What's the more, the number is up from 64% in 1997 (33% essential, 31% important) to 79% in 2002 (48% essential, 31% important). What's interesting, reports Volokh, is that although there were lots of press reports involving this survey, NOT ONE mentioned the increased support for the right to own firearms. Go figure.
