Most Americans believe that owning a gun is the right of every citizen. According to a Gallup poll, 73 percent of the U.S. public believe that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to gun ownership.
WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT A POLL SAYS.
THE ADMENDMENT IS THERE. IN THE CONSTITUTION.
IT, THE ADMENDMENT, CLEARLY STATES ITS INTENT THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE NATION SHOULD HAVE THEIR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.
NOT TO HUNT -NEVER MENTIONED, NOT FOR PROTECTION - NEVER MENTIONED, SIMPLY AS A RIGHT. ONE ONLY NEED TO READ A LITTLE HISTORY TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE FOUNDERS THOUGHT THIS THE 2ND MOST IMPORTANT RIGHT. THEY KNEW WITHOUT ARMS THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE DEFEATED THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. THEY KNEW, FROM HISTORY, THAT NO PEOPLE HAD EVER GAINED THEIR FREEDOM WITHOUT FORCES OF ARMS. THEY KNEW FROM HISTORY THAT THE MOST POPULAR WAY TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM BEING FREE WAS TO KEEP THEM UNARMED.
tHESE SIMPLE TRUTHS YOUR GOVERNMENT QND COURTS NOW WANT YOU TO FORGET OR NOT SEE.
NEVER ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. IF YOU DO IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST RIGHT YOU LOSE...........
“WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT A POLL SAYS.”
Because people think some things need to be popular or supported by a majority in order to be legal (Too bad the same idea isn’t applied to homosexual marriage), which is true in some cases...however, Constitutional freedoms are not one of those cases.
And polls matter to anti-gun fascists only because it helps them decide how to whine about them. If a majority of people support firearm ownership, they can push the “We must protect the rights of the minority” whine; if a minority support firearm ownership, they can push the “The majority have spoken and we must obey” crap.
