Fox News ^ | August 14, 2019 | DANA BLANTON, GIRL REPORTER

In the wake of two mass shootings, overwhelming and bipartisan majorities of voters favor background checks on gun buyers and taking guns from people who are a danger to themselves or others, according to the latest Fox News Poll. 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...

From the less free, more socialist states, bipartisan voters with allegiance to China (import states) have spoken with their money. They want another eight years of Democrats ruling over our country. With their attack against our Second Amendment, they will get what they wish for.

I would say, "Be careful what you wish for." But they won't listen. If those two bills pass and are signed by the President, I will surely step aside and refrain from voting for any national candidate in 2020 to let them learn their lesson once and for all.

Remember the Obama years. The different with the next eight years of Democrat rule is that the traitors among us will be deposed with skyrocketing taxes, losses of real properties and economic collapse. In the meantime, country boys will survive to rise again.

I see the new and improved Fox News has joined the rest of the fake news media in lying about Americans’ attitudes toward guns.

Do not buy it, people. Do not let them lie their way into taking away our gun rights.

The biggest difference is republicans will peel off enough support to get democrat bills out of committee, so they can pass with a simple majority. When called on it, they chide us with, “elections have consequences.”

The claim that "most" support more gun control is a damn lie. The same manner of lying popular during Hitler's regime.

Yep, never watch them anymore. I wonder why they all seem to gravitate toward socialism/communism?

Pass it all. Every single whack job piece of legislation.

But make sure to heavily publicize every sponsor, each yes vote, each group/donor behind it, and offer an app that tracks their locations, the easiest routes to find them, and alternates in case checkpoints are thrown up.

"Yep, never watch them anymore. I wonder why they all seem to gravitate toward socialism/communism?"

Because Fox News broadcasts from New York city. Influential political class folks there hate our Second Amendment and love imports from foreign enemies. Generally, they hate the United States and want to transform our country into a hole country resembling their old countries.

I wonder if the poll asked if the Rats and the media are tearing the country apart. Cause that’s the real story.

There will pretty much be a mass shooting every day, until the communists get trump to sign their laws.

Get used to it, they are on to a working strategy.

"see the new and improved Fox News has joined the rest of the fake news media in lying about Americans’ attitudes toward guns."

Seems they've joined the Goebbels propaganda campaign to disarm Americans. Nothing good ever comes of it.

Ban cars next. Far more are killed by them.

Sorry people, but the media/Democrats are milking these shootings for all they’re worth - and it’s working like a charm.

Just remember, we can choose to ignore or try to discredit these polls - but people who need to get elected or re-elected cannot. So, the best we can hope for is what happened with DACA - Trump and the Republicans engaged on the issue, but in the end the Democrats demanded too much, and so nothing got done...but at least it was perceived that our side ‘tried’.

That would be the best outcome we can hope for, at this point.

FoxNews has always leaned on the gun-grabber side, what do you expect from a bunch of New Yorkers ?
