Poll: 29% of Registered Voters Believe Armed Revolution Might Be Necessary in Next Few Years May 2, 2013 By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. Subscribe to Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. RSS
Twenty-nine percent of registered voters think that an armed revolution might be necessary in the next few years in order to protect liberties, according to a Public Mind poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University.
The poll, which surveyed 863 registered voters and had a margin of error of +/-3.4, focused on both gun control and the possibility of a need for an armed revolution in the United States to protect.
The survey asked whether respondents agreed, disagreed, neither agreed nor disagreed or did not know or refused respond to the statement: "In the next few years, an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our liberties"
Twenty-nine percent said they agreed, 47 percent said they disagreed, 18 percent said they neither agreed nor disagreed, 5 percent said they were unsure, and 1 percent refused to respond.

ONLY 29%???
I’d bet the numbers are a lot higher but people don’t openly discuss or advocate for armed revolution.
>30% is pretty impressive.
I believe that during the FIRST revolution the number was closer to 20%.
I prefer peaceful secession, but that’s a pipe dream, probably.
29% is enough to get things started.
Careful, the police down in Palm Beach, FL are watching. :)
Only 29% admitted it. The other 90% (demokkkrat math!) may think so but rightly shut up about it. 90% is the agreed to factor these days isn’t it?
Consider how stupid it would be to go on records advocating such, there are probably far more who believe this but were smart enough to say “oh, heck no, I don’t advocate violence”. After all, saying such a thing in public could cost you your job or result in a visit from police or CPS.
I’m amazed. Enough people are paying attention that it’s 29% so far? That’s more than supported the American Revolution, if I recall correctly.
A few more high-profile abuses of the electorate by the 0bambi Administration, and we could have one. Not saying it would be good, nice or pretty, but slavery to the government is one thing I won’t abide.
Thomas Jefferson.
Some people actually think that the noble experiment of proportional democracy has failed! What a shock! Some people actually think that government has become all powerful and overpowering! What a shock! Some people see the president usurping more and more powers that are not allocated in the Constitution! What a shock! Some people do not trust their government that lies to them about embassy attacks and terrorist attacks! What a shock!
Some people are not happy that their government is stocking up on heavy arms. What a shock! Some people see the rate of taxation become more and more confiscatory! What a shock!
It could be 2 or 3 percent.
Hmm, new bumper sticker; “We are the 29%”
I think that’s a higher percentage than the number of people in the colonies who supported Washington during the American Revolution 1776-1781.

Were you in the 20% that supported the revolution against the King before it started?
I really think this poll was designed to show that Republicans are dangerous and “on the edge.”
Obama will have a Reichstag momement blamed on the right (like he attempted to blame the Boston Bombers) and will use sentiment like this to impose martial law.
Be careful what you say.
Don’t over-react.
Big Sis will love this and move up her Armed Revolution
