62% of Americans want assault weapons to be banned. 72% support raising the minimum age to buy long guns to 21. 57% think that preventing gun violence is more important that protecting gun rights. Only 34% think that protecting guns rights is more important. 85% think that the police should be empowered to take away guns from people judged to be a danger to themselves or others. 71% think that Congress is not doing enough to prevent gun violence. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/10-ban-assault-weapons-sharply-parklands-aftermath/story?id=54531298 Is this more evidence that America is at a turning point?
False. 62% of the youngest members of 1002 households want this. This is not a true representation of Americans. The truth is that a research firm was hired to deliver a specific result, so they gave ABC news what they paid for. This cannot be considered honest reporting since they are "reporting" their own fabricated story. If I wanted to "prove" leftest agenda, I would just conduct a phone survey during working hours and ask to speak with the youngest member of the household.
No, false statistics, look at this forum, better yet, Do a poll and ask how many forum members want moar Gun Control and you will see accurate numbers.
They have in a sense, it is their Manifesto of pestifourous infestations of the major Liberal Democrat enclaves of mental slavery.
I kinda hope their dreams of a mid term sweep come true..they will go apes**t with their agenda, full of wrath and vanity, convinced they have a mandate and push all their squirrelly agendas down everybody's throats...this will of course include the second amendment...so be it..I am weary and sick of it , if there is gonna be a dance..I don't want to miss it
I'm calling bull on this claim. There is nothing in the article about asking to speak to the youngest member of the household. 47% of the households surveyed included a gun owner. The General Social Survey indicates that guns are kept in only about a third of American homes. So it is more likely that the views of gun apologists were over represented than under represented in the results.
You can't be serious. Most of the people that post here have extreme views even compared to most gun owners.
Only you and a few others post junk like this. And your idea of "extreme" is anyone that does not agree with you, that extreme Gun Control is the answer to everything.
Most gun owners that post here know a lot more about the Constitution , the Bill of Rights and SCOTUS decisions than the average gun owner.
Where did you dig up that garbage moniker ? Why keep on flame baiting and taunting the forum with it ?
He has categorized me as having extreme views for not agreeing to roll over, on his constant demands for what he calls "Reasonable Gun Control."
Well, I guess I'm also an extremist for wanting to keep our 2nd Amendment from being eviscerated by those so eager to surrender our rapidly diminishing freedoms for the illusion of security. Fortunately there are not as many anti 2A young people as our bias MSM would have us believe: "Millennials Are No More Liberal On Gun Control Than Elders, Polls Show" https://www.npr.org/2018/02/24/5880...liberal-on-gun-control-than-elders-polls-show EXCERPT "But past polling suggests that people younger than 30 in the U.S. are no more liberal on gun control than their parents or grandparents — despite diverging from their elders on the legalization of marijuana, same-sex marriage and other social issues."CONTINUED
Plenty of modern young people are Pro Gun nowadays, and you see them posting videos and commentary about Guns in a positive way, and as I often make converts from Anti Gun people by encouraging them to visit a range or gun club and talk to the members there. I knew an Anti Gun Police Officer who himself did not want a gun, and only had the necessary regulation firearms and equipment, he even hated cleaning them, one day I tricked him into going to a Civilian Range, at first he was annoyed, f-ing civilian Rambo wannabes be muttered on walking in with his gym bag containing his meager gun stuff. I introduced him, and he was warmly greeted by everyone, a well known Physician, a Lawyer, a Carpenter and a few regular Women shooters, and he whispered where are your regular nutjob shooters ? And I said your looking at them, and he was shocked to find zero Rambos and other stereotypical fat slob overweight knuckle draggers.
