The American public as a whole are much more likely to favor stricter gun laws than gun owners

Golux no offense to you but you are WRONG. Ain’t no problem with the American people that Donald Trump can’t fix, golux. Why he’s SURE to be elected with all his political clout. Plus, you’re wrong about America and Americans. I may not spend much time in the cities, and I may not ever have darkened the door of a public school, and I may spend all my time on conservative internet blogs arguing small points with people who think just as I do, and I may not have noticed that the country turned out in droves to elect a Marxist Mombasan community organizer whose only promise was “Communism for America,” but I sure don’t believe polls like this that suggest Americans are lazy, immoral, stupid, and fat! Heck, look at my dog Willie! He’s an American, and HE’s not fat!

“Respondents were selected from YouGov’s opt-in Internet panel using sample
matching.”

So, it’s a glorified internet poll.

AKA, pure garbage.

Yawn. They have been saying the same thing for the last fifty three years.

1962; “We don’t want to take away your guns, we ONLY want to register handguns! Rifles and shotguns will not be affected”.

1964: “We only want to register all your guns, not ban them! Only Army surplus guns will be banned.”

1968: “We only want to register your guns, and ban “Saturday Night Specials” and small foreign handguns along with army surplus rifles!” (They got the ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles and handguns and small foreign pistols)

1970: “We only want to ban Saturday night specials! Large handguns and rifles will not be affected!”

1976: “We only want to ban all handguns! Long guns will not be affected!”

1981: “The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns, and they can keep their rifles!”- Lee Grant on GMA

1984: “We must ban “assault Rifles, unsuitable or hunting!”

1989: George Bush bans import of some foreign made “assault rifles”.

1992: Assault rifle ban passed by Clinton.

2000: first calls to ban single shot .50 cal rifles...

2012 calls for MORE bans on semi auto rifles and handguns. If you can’t ban them then go after ammo limits, the magazines and styles of the stocks.

And so it continues.

They lied to us in 1962.
They lied to us in 1964.
They lied to us in 1968.
They lied to us in 1970.
They lied to us in 1976.
They lied to us in 1981.
They lied to us in 2013,

AND THEY ARE LYING TO US NOW!

2/3 would probably sell themselves into slavery if they were promised some free stuff.

But if you tell some thug to pull his pants up or stare at some ridiculous boob-to-neck tattoo, you are “judgin’”.

This is a free republic.
Who cares what some “others” may want.

2/3 of Americans support gun registration, and 1/3 of American own guns.

For someone who is supposed to be an expert, how come no one has ever heard of her.
I bet Michael Bloomberg knows who she is!

“Since the majority of Americans own guns, that statement is such a non-sequitur it’s about to make my head explode.”

Don’t be overconfident.

Consider that the millions living in major cities like NYC probably do not own guns.

2/3 of Despots surveyed responded that a National Gun Registry is essential for protecting the people...

What a crock!

The right to bear arms is final check and balance of an unjust government, if all others fail to uphold the constitution...

They’re leftists.

Therefore, they’re lying.

Many of those 2/3 are probably just fine with illegal/undocumented citizens.

I favor a public registry for all the guns in government agent hands.

I would prefer registering politicians and making them wear ankle bracelets.
