AP POLL: SUPPORT GROWS AMONG AMERICANS FOR STRICTER GUN LAWS
AP ^ | July 23, 2016 | LISA MARIE PANE AND RYAN J. FOLEY

Americans increasingly favor tougher gun laws by margins that have grown wider after a steady drumbeat of shootings in recent months, but they also are pessimistic that change will happen anytime soon, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

Nearly two-thirds of respondents expressed support for stricter laws, with majorities favoring nationwide bans on the sale of semi-automatic assault weapons such as the AR-15 and on the sale of high-capacity magazines holding 10 or more bullets.

As usual, a highly manipulated BS "poll" by the drive-bys.

We're going to see more anti-2nd Amendment "polls" and articles like this leading up to the November election.

I hope next weeks DNC convention is full of speeches calling for more gun control, it's a losing issue for the 'rats.

The wolves are at the door, and AP wants to disarm the sheep.

Sales of ARs and other firearms of similar type have gone through the roof over the last few months.

This poll is BS.

And besides - Poll results do NOT negate your Rights.

Only because the people don’t know that gun control cities have the most shootings. They hate all the shootings and they want them to stop, but they are too stupid to read the truth about gun ownership.

Of course AssPress, part of the dinosaur media, would try to influence opinion. Why not just report the news?

Exactly! People are voting for less gun control with their wallets. They aren’t buying single shot firearms either.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I strongly support stricter gun laws. I think we need new laws to:

Lemme guess they polled all the blue states in areas where the Gays, La Razans, Race Baiters, and Progressive Commies are heaviest, right?

What a convention that will be. One that will have a clear anti-police and anti-second amendment theme while it nominates a presidential ticket that has two white globalists who are the embodiment of political corruption. The media can frame that convention all they want, but it will be promoting a stealth Hate America theme from start to finish.

Polling only people who work in the newsroom doesn’t count.

Correct.

Every poll I've seen says respondents overwhelmingly distrust the media.

Perhaps their First Amendment rights should be curtailed, eh?
