There was a momentary spike in the importance of gun grabbing, but, that has faded
(VOA News) In the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, many Americans said gun control was the most important issue facing the country.
That has changed, despite high profile events like school walk outs and the March for Our Lives protests.
A recent Gallup public opinion poll found those who think gun control is the most important issue dropped from 13 percent, a record, to six percent in just one month.
Now, more Americans think dissatisfaction with government (23 percent), immigration (11 percent) and race relations (seven percent) are all more important than gun control. (snip)
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Gallup found Democrats were twice as likely to think gun violence is among the most important issues compared to Republicans by eight to four percent respectively. Democrats also saw the biggest drop in those saying guns were the top problem, dropping by half in just one month.
Democrat interest in this dropped from 16% in March to just 8% in April. Only 5% of Independents care, and 4% of Republicans.
But, the gun grabbers won’t give up. Illinois is attempting to lead the charge with a whole host of new restrictions. One would have thought they would look towards Chicago to see how well gun grabber laws have worked for the law abiding citizens. One of the big ones is allowing local jurisdictions to make their own laws in contradiction of state law and the state Constitution.
In California they’re looking to expand the places that law abiding citizens may no longer carry a firearm to protect themselves from the criminals the Democratic Party defends and loves.
But, in Vermont, one group is suing over the state’s new gun control laws. What we do know is that Democrats aren’t concerned about criminals, because few of their gun control policies are meant to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals nor punish those who have they and/or use them illegally. Almost all is aimed at the law abiding citizens. Hence why we call it gun grabbing.
I’ll be on my fainting couch.
A crazed man stole his gun nut mother’s rifle, killed her and then went to a grade school and murdered 26, including young kids.
We did nothing.
Jeff,
That is correct. Liberals will not allow us to have a better method of handling mental health.
Amazing that libs are not against armed guards at banks to protect their money but so many of them are against armed guards at schools to protect their children.
Small wonder, they believe there’s a constitutional right to taxpayer funded infanticide.
