Just 39% of Americans now say the United States needs stricter gun control, as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to review the constitutionality of state and local anti-gun laws.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 50% are opposed to stricter gun control laws, and 11% are not sure.
In March, 43% favored stricter gun control laws. In previous surveys, voters have been narrowly divided on the question.
Men by 23 points oppose stricter gun control laws. Women are evenly divided. Sixty-five percent (65%) of Democrats favor tighter control of guns, but 69% of Republicans and 62% of adults not affiliated with either party disagree.

Just 39% of Americans now say the United States needs stricter gun control, as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to review the constitutionality of state and local anti-gun laws. Is the money dumped into the education system that is making people understand or is it just a swing in thought?
Must be the latter...

...which, of course, means the demo-rats will support it vehemently! It does not matter what their constituents want. Don’t you DARE tell them how to run their congressional district!

Have you noticed how so many people (over 40%) believe in all the wrong things. It grows every year.

I have a friend who is very anti-guns. She lives with her useless adult son, who is afraid of guns, in a not-so-nice neighborhood.
Last week, there was some kind of an argument going on a few houses away. There was shooting and a bullet went through her living room window and lodged in a door frame. By the way, she was in the room at the time.
I’ve been telling her to get a gun, but she refuses. She thinks that if she only talks nice to these people, all will be well. She also wrote a letter to the police chief complaining about the shooting and went around the neighborhood collecting signatures. Now the thugs know who complained.
I’m afraid for her safety. She and her son are just sitting ducks.

The only good 'stricter gun control' I can think of is a better recoil pad on my rifle butt. That sumbitch kicks like a mule.

Yeah.....with all these State Guv’s emptying the prisons to save money, we’ll each need to learn better gun control!

Many if not most shooters find they have gun stricter control using both hands, but I'm an "old school" guy and get stricter gun control using only my right hand.

The amazing thing is that I've been looking through some "gun" threads in DemocraticUnderground, and there actually seems to be more pro-gun sentiment than anti-gun. For example,
this thread regarding that silly Philadelphia study that came out recently.

I suggest you buy some life insurance on her, with you as the beneficiary. Then make sure she knows about it.
Tell her that someone should benefit from her stupidity.

39%. Still a lot more work to do. Like with abortion, they could easily be convinced of the right answer.
Say with me - Hitler’s stricter gun control, Hitler’s stricter gun control, Hitler’s stricter gun control..
