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.

But no bias of course :-)
Can we enforce the ones we have now first, before we pass even more laws that will not be prosecuted by the Just Us Department?
Morons who think “stricter gun laws” are going to stop Islamic terrorism are, well, morons.
They have been saying the same thing since 1968. Never pans out at the polls.
So, shouldn't the poll read 100% favor banning guns?
After all, that is what AP is representing in the quotes.
My great-great grandfather left us his old Smith & Wesson
revolver. - Fang says if they come for our guns, they
MIGHT kill him; but says we’re for damned sure going to
take a few of them with us when/if we go!
This could be because fewer people are buying more and more guns. Don't delude yourself, the sheep are stupid.
Ha... it would be fun to suggest that just to watch their eyes bug out, wouldn’t it...
Oh, I hear you brother.
Not presuming it all; merely refuting the bullsh*t poll from AP.
Another of the MSM/HRC polls.
A Democrat is the kind of person who, after hearing his kid was bitten by a dog, wants to pull everyone’s teeth.
LOL!
The creation of more gun laws will not stop the problem. According to Joe Scarborough, the host of MSNBCs morning show, and hardly a conservative personality, has done research on the topic of ownership of weapons by killers and finds that only about 3% of the guns used in attacks or killings are bought legally.

Then what good are more laws that will be overlooked by the criminals? Waste of time and money.
Also pandering!

This was probably directly coordinated with the Democrat National Committee.
It’s how they word the poll.
The term “assault weapions” gets a different result than the actual term, “semi-automatic rifles.”
Please see my post #22.
Background checks say it all. Lots of first time gun owners out there & their numbers are growing like crazy.
