Two-thirds also support a ban on “assault weapons,”...Meanwhile, the president’s job ratings are increasingly negative in the shooting aftermath, as 59 percent say Trump is “tearing the country apart,”...Most voters either disapprove (51 percent) of Trump’s tweeting...

“this Fox News Poll includes interviews with 1,013 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide who spoke with live interviewers on both landlines and cellphones. “

A random meaningless poll.

Rights are not granted by man, and can not be taken by man.

Firearms are incidental, rather demonstrative.

Take my “right” on your paper.

Enforce your order.

This is just another FOX News Poll. They always swing to the left. More or less worthless.

I’m sincerely saddened to say this, but with the attacks on freedom coupled with the violent rhetoric and actions we’ve been seeing, the next Democrat administration with a Democrat congressional majority may well entail a civil war. Those of us who’ve been trained by Uncle Sam for warfare know how horrible and difficult life would be and don’t want it.

But we don’t control the world. If it’s going to happen, it may be better sooner than later with more years of anti-American incrementalism and impoverishment before it. But not good either way.

I pray that it won’t happen at all. Hopefully, the radical lefties will awaken from their fantasies about violence, and our more genteel side of conservatism will awaken enough to see what’s going on outside of their gated communities and offices. We cannot afford to lose our American freedoms at this point in time. Decades or hundreds of years of worldwide, hard socialism would be an unthinkable nightmare.

Any poll that shows President Trump’s Approval below 57-60% must be considered to be utterly bogus.

Go around America, look at the economy, watch the crowds at Trump events, talk to you neighbors. Trump is the most popular president since Reagan.

Reagan won is a landslide in 1984 and Trump has higher approval than Reagan and Biden is less popular than Mondale.

It’s not even going to be close.

Highly likely the poll didn’t lie.
The social conservative community is shrinking after years of bullying, intimidating, public ostracising...... no need to mention the KO blow delivered by SCOUS on gay marriage legalisation.

"The social conservative community is shrinking after years of bullying, intimidating, public ostracising...... no need to mention the KO blow delivered by SCOUS on gay marriage legalisation."

And four more years' worth of young folks have reached voting age. Drugs are big with many of them--sons and daughters of a thousand fathers. Looks like a wasteland of soiled humanity around us.

I do talk to my neighbors. That’s why I believe Trump is in trouble.
If he does manage to get re-elected, it will be by the skin of his teeth.

Ted Cruz has some chart on his facebook page that has the chart on gun violence (dropping fast since the 70’s??) overlain on top of gun ownership in America (rising steadily since the beginning).

45 states have ‘shall issue’ carry also inversely proportional to street crimes, home invasions, rape, aggravated battery, etc. Armed citizens capable of self defense tend to be less dependent upon governments...

Stupid media polls do not equate to throwing out a god given right or infringing upon it.

It’s not the Bill of Popular Knee Jerk Reactions.
