Fox News Poll: Voters favor gun measures, doubt Congress will act (CAN THIS BE REAL?)

If this poll accurately reflects the state of our nation, I guess we the sheeple deserve what we get.

I wondered if there was a question about abolishing the "gun-free zones"... It appears not. But, respondents are against teachers and staff carrying on school grounds. And that's up since 2013.

Wow. Why should school grounds be any different than, say, shopping malls, grocery stores, churches or, any other place where people gather? I wonder if the typical American has ANY idea how many of her fellow citizens are carrying concealed while she walks around in blissful ignorance believing she's in the middle of a giant, gun-free zone. The good news: While the criminals don't know how many are capable of taking them out, they know just about anyone could be.

THE LEFT IS SO DUMB!

[freedumb2003]

They should have added the question: “Can you define what an ‘Assault Weapon’ is?

[TangoLimaSierra]

Looks like the poll-bots are out in force.

[WayneS]

By a 13-point margin, voters consider protecting against gun violence more important than protecting gun rights (53-40 percent).

This is the sad result of three generations of leftist drivel being taught in our schools.

I don’t know, but watching Parkland cops sit back and let the murders proceed unimpeded tells me that the government cannot be trusted for my protection.

[VTenigma]

Faux polls suck.

[G Larry]

Of those responding to the poll 80%;

don’t know what “universal background checks” means,

don’t have any idea how “mental health checks” would be conducted or tracked,

don’t have any idea what an “assault weapon” is.

[Red Steel]

No. What it reflects is the liberal media Fox news included. And it looks to be the same poll dredged up from six years ago.

[neverevergiveup]

We are a very divided nation. From what I’ve seen, about 25% of Americans own guns, so it does not seem surprising that a large percentage of the others would be for more control. The real question is the constitutionality. The Constitution is what saves us from ourselves and from the tyranny of the majority.

[so_real]

I don't believe it. Not remotely. In the real world, we don't even know what makes a background check "universal", yet we are intelligent enough to know that all "weapons" are designed for "assault". When Civil War breaks out and the lines are drawn and people start getting their just earnings ... I guarantee it won't be a split 60/40 with gun owners in the minority.

[kempster]

I think Goebbels also had a poll that reflected the same thing in the 30’s.

[sickoflibs]

Polls always come back that way.

To put in context you have to add the poll that asked what their legislative priorities are and gun control always comes up at the bottom.

People don’t worry about getting shot in a mass shooting.

[Envisioning]

Well, I guess that settles it.

ROTFLMAO!

I don't give two #%*#s what their "pole" says and I don't care what laws they might be able to pass. They will still have to come and take mine. I suggest you pack a lunch.....[spit]

[Envisioning]

pole=poll before the autocorrect police show up.

[zerosix]

NO!

Riggs polls are news today!

Just watch the weenies run for the exits if they begin any real action against guns and gun ownership.

They may attempt some end run around the issue behind closed doors with “regulations,” like the Kenyan did!

[right way right]

We need to put an end to these Leftist politicians and their weaponized media.
They need to suffer consequence for toying with the Constitution.
They use our own freedom of the press against us,
Is the freedom of the press the freedom to lie and attack what keeps us free?
These fools who are deluded by satanic lies only wish to shut it down and disarm it for a completely unattainable utopia.
The don't fear us because we are not in their faces, we're too busy trying to be left alone.
They need to understand that they have crossed a line.
I believe it's time for armed protest.
These people should be soiling their shorts at the sight of thousands or even millions of armed protesters simply putting forth a show of deterrence. What else are we going to do, vote Republican?? I may sound like a raving nut but, I look for solutions, it always seems like we just wringing our hands and boiling away to me. It's worthless and ineffective and conserves nothing of freedom.

[nobamanomore]

In my area, about 80% own guns, fortunately.

[CGASMIA68]

thats the big ?? that no one can answer correctly because there is no correct answer.
