Says great support for expanded background checks, red flag laws, decriminalizing pot. 54% for “assault weapon” ban. Northam 52% approval.

Expect increased tyranny as usual.

Beltway liberals. Maybe the parts of Virginia that are inundated with federal employees and government people should be combined with DC and make a small state. Leave the rest of Virginia alone.

Any internals on this thing available?

As we all know, polls almost always use samples skewed to Ds, often very heavily, and never normalize to the real-world electorate.

Unless I know the internals I can glean no info whatsoever from the headline number.

. . . expanding background checks for gun sales; enacting a “red flag” law . . . banning assault-style weapons. . .

I was not aware that polling was relevant to whether government had to respect my God-given and constitutionally-protected individual rights. I am proud of the very large number of Virginia jurisdictions that are standing up for protecting freedom.

The poll is no doubt a fake push poll which does not reflect reality.

my God-given and constitutionally-protected individual rights

Kudos for the way you stated that. Too many people, even on the right, think that the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights in total grant us these rights. As you stated they do not. They protect those rights which are inalienable and come from a higher power than government.

“combined”

I’ve always said a good trade for DC statehood would be to have them annex the surrounding counties.

Are the Democrats bringing back slavery? I hear that’s really popular with them.

The most recent gun control survey I could find was from July 2019-—There’s no breakdown of who was polled other than 891 likely VA voters:

If this is true, why have so many counties declared themselves 2nd Amendment sanctuary counties?

Please provide a link. I am fascinated by the 2A-SR in VA. Can’t keep up with the latest tally.

“true”

A poll is just a poll. Unfortunately, it will likely contribute to the commie delusions of newly elected commie government in Virginia.

The news site that reported the poll is a well known DC area news outfit, website and radio only. Per Virginia, it’s be a Northern Virginia audience.

May be a valid plan for Gay Frisco, LA and Portland.
