Americans rarely, if ever, agree on anything. But a recent Quinnipiac survey showed that 97 percent support universal background checks for gun ownership. And yet the U.S. Congress remains paralyzed by inaction. The same Quinnipiac survey showed that nearly 7 in 10 Americans want a nationwide ban on assault weapons, including 43 percent of Republicans. And yet the Republican-controlled Florida legislature, along party lines, refused to debate the banning of assault weapons, like AR-15s, the weapon of choice for many mass shooters, including the Parkland shooter who killed 14 high-school students and three adults.
During a meeting with victims of mass shootings, President Donald Trump voiced support for arming teachers saying, "It could very well solve your problem." A 2013 survey showed only 38 percent favor allowing teachers and school officials to be armed, with 7 in 10 teachers opposing such measures.

Has anyone ever see a gun get up by itself and start murdering people?
Universal background checks is propaganda speak for registration.
No.
The fake news machine is in overdrive.
PARVEZ AHMED
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, Ahmed, we do still need the Second Amendment.
Since you posted 2 anti-gun articles and had nothing to say, is one to take it that you agree with this clap-trap BS?
Liberal insanity at it’s best.....they need to be put back in mental institutions before they hurt themselves...or worse, others.
Hell no.
I am a strong Second Amendment supporter. I do see some forms of gun control being passed into law, however.
Where do you get this “we” sh*t,Ahmed. If you can’t handle the Bill of Rights, take your goat smelling @$$ home. Since we’re going to do “recent” polls, how about the new poll conducted by NBC/WSJ where 58% of those polled said that Americans should have the right to own guns and be armed to defend themselves and their families. Only 38% thought the Nazis should be allowed to confiscate our guns. Stop telling just half of the story, MORON!
#FakeFacts. Quite the propaganda piece.
Ah, Mr Ahmed, Don’t think I care to read your thoughts on gun-control or lack thereof. I’m guessing what you would wish for.
Taking advice on the 2nd amendment or any freedom related issue from a guy named Ahmed is probably not what I would do.
“...assault weapons, like AR-15s...”
Of course, the AR15 is not an assault weapon.
The fully auto M16, its big brother, is.
Stop trying to make “97 percent” happen, MSM. No deal. I was not polled, nor was anyone I know.
“I do see some forms of gun control being passed into law, however.”
How about some criminal control?
We particularly need arms because our government keeps letting in followers of Mohammed who are devout in following his teachings.
Natural rights are never obsolete. The Constitution just acknowledged their need for protection through law. Those of us who know what’s important for America, know that any infringement of our 2nd Amendment is a crime against America. We will be taking names of the criminals against our Constitution and kicking asses.
Infringed: verb (used without object), infringed, infringing. To encroach or trespass (usually followed by on or upon): Don’t infringe on his privacy.
Synonyms:
breach
contraven
disobey
encroach
imposes
intrude
meddle
offend
trespass
borrow
break
crash
entrench
infract
invade
lift
obtrude
pirate
presume
steal
transgress
97 percent. Does that mean “consensus”?
what we need is a government that will obey, abide by our republic’s constitution
Let me tell you something you forgot to say, Spanky. The "shooter" was one of those Parkland H.S. "students". The problem is NOT guns or the NRA, MORON. The "students" and their crappy public schools are the problem.
