(CBS News) A new poll indicates that more and more people now have guns in their homes, and that America's attitude towards gun-control may be shifting.
According to a new Gallup poll, 47 percent of Americans report having a gun on their property, up from 41 percent a year ago.
It's the highest number Gallup has recorded since 1993.
The poll also found that 53 percent of Americans oppose a ban on assault rifles and semiautomatic guns - the first time more have opposed than supported a ban.
It's difficult to monitor gun ownership in this country, and the latest increase in self-reported gun ownership could reflect more of a change in Americans' comfort with stating publicly that they have a gun, than in a real increase in gun ownership.
Self-Reported Gun Ownership in U.S. Is Highest Since 1993

It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books
