20% of Ignorant Voters Think Owning a Gun is Immoral

- The young woman above is almost certainly one of the minority of Americans that believes owning a gun is immoral. A recent Rassmussen poll revealed that 20% of registered voters in the United States believe owning a gun is immoral. From jacksonville.com:

Beyond specific issues, the attitudes being voiced by many progressive Democrats seem almost designed specifically to antagonize Midwestern voters. Twenty percent of all voters consider owning a gun immoral, and 20% believe it is immoral to call for limits on government. Eleven percent think eating meat and having children are also immoral.

The specific Rassmussen poll was taken on 23-24 March 2019, at scottrasmussen.com.

In the poll, 9% thought owning a gun was very immoral. 11% thought owning a gun was somewhat immoral.  15% thought it was not very immoral, and 58% thought it was not at all immoral.

The poll was of registered voters, which is helpful. It would be interesting to know what the numbers would be of likely or actual voters.

It is not surprising that a very similar number thought to limit government was immoral.

9% thought it was very immoral; and 11% thought it was somewhat immoral, with 53% saying it was not immoral at all.

This poll reinforces the idea there is a significant overlap between those who do not want any limits on government and those who oppose people owning firearms.

Those who think it immoral to own firearms are about evenly split between men and women, with a few more men than women.

They also believe Smallette, Blasé Ford, and the Russian collusion hoax.

These geniuses should wear something to indicate their position so gun owners can avoid coming to their aid when they’re in need of protection.

Thank you.

Full disclosure: Not mine, I read it here and it stuck with me. Unfortunately, I am unable to recall the name of the author. My bad. But still, I’m glad you like it.

AGREED, though the “modern” Santa Claus was essentially “an INVENTION of” the COCA-COLA COMPANY. - Further, that invention has little or nothing to do with the HISTORICAL St. Nicholas.
