Gun-control law support in the United States is at an all-time low, a Gallup Poll survey taken before last week's massacre in Binghamton, N.Y., indicates.

Twenty-nine percent of Americans asked said they favored banning possession of handguns by private citizens, the smallest approval percentage since Gallup first asked the question nearly 50 years ago, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said Wednesday in releasing the results.

Thus ABC must run a special telling us that guns are bad and gun control is good.

The country is fast-tracking into socialist Hell and liberals are just now finding out what the 2nd Amendment is all about.

Those white devil slavemasters with funny wigs who founded the greatest nation in Earth's history put pen to paper guaranteeing our God given rights and the need for a limited and beholden to the people federal government.

They knew it would be too good to last so they invented the “failsafe” concept and inserted it second in the Bill Of Rights.

Here’s a great big shout out to Sarah Brady. Hey Sarah, thanks for your work on this project Sarah. You’ve turned so many people off on the issue of hand gun control, I just had to say thanks.

George Soros will direct Hussein Obama to start registering then confiscating. Its inevitable. Stock up on ammo now so you can resist when the federal thugs come for your guns.

Here is more detailed information:http://www.gallup.com/poll/117361/Support-Gun-Control-Laws-Time-Lows.aspx

I think it’s worth noting that women are much more in favor of gun control than men.

34% women, only 25% men favor a ban, 56% women to 42% men want more gun control.

Obama, Pelosi and Reid support it. That’s all that matters.

Gun control has NEVER been passed for the benefit of the governed.

I tell my liberal friends (yes I have a few) that guns are like abortions; if you don't want one, don't have one.

Me? I'm pro-choice on guns.

People see what is happening in our society, and they are afraid. They know government won’t rescue them when it comes time to defend themselves.
