Most gun owners?

Same old propaganda. What just happened in Minnesotastan echoes the 1989 Stockton incident, and the response from the left is virtually identical.

Get some new talking points, lefties. C’mon, you’ve had 36 years.

> a new NPR/Ipsos survey finds <

Oh, so it’s NPR. What did they do, call every registered member of the California Democrat Party?

Anyway, liberals just love to do surveys. They’ll talk on and on.

But most conservatives will just hang up. We’ve got better things to do. Work on the truck. Maintain the house. Clean our rifles.

Do these NPR writers have any self awareness at all?
A CT and CA gun grabbing RINOs?

That’s the sample?

I dont think private citizens should be allowed to have nuclear weapons, cruise missiles or mustard gas. Beyond that, none of my business.

NPR/Ipsos - worthless trash poll.

Nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction should be regulated, but after that, no restrictions.

Those are my “modest” restrictions.

Also, if one is not currently in the system (prison or parole), their second amendment rights should not be infringed. If society is worried about them having a weapon, keep them incarcerated.

"Everybody I know, everybody I talk to, pretty much agrees with me" -- said every NPR/liberal pollster.

This article is in the running for most useless article about guns this year.

There are already 20,000 "modest"gun laws/restrictions in the USA.

How many more "modest" gun laws/restrictions do we need?

“The overwhelming majority of gun owners are in favor of universal background checks, of raising the minimum age to buy guns to 21 and so-called “red flag” laws to remove guns from potentially dangerous people, a new NPR/Ipsos survey finds.”

Absolute BS propaganda.

“I do support that [an assault-style weapons ban] because I think that we should be protecting our kids,” said poll participant Lizzie...”

Lizzie, you are stupid.

The only modest restriction I have is keep your Nazi fingers off my Bill of Rights and any firearms I may have access to. Go do something about the retarded trannies you are flying wingman for. They are crazies shooting up our schools.

Privae citizens are prevented from having those weapons by cost. Those rich enough to purchase them will have no legal barrier that is sufficient to stop them.
