I’m pretty sure that our constitutional rights are not subject to the whims of voters, unless they can amend the Constitution
More voters support assault weapons ban over arming citizens to reduce violence: poll
More U.S. voters support banning assault weapons over arming citizens to reduce gun violence, according to a Fox News poll released on Thursday.
While 45 percent of those surveyed said they would encourage more citizens to carry guns to defend against attackers, 61 percent said they favored banning assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons.
Huge majorities in the poll also supported a wide variety of gun safety measures, including 87 percent who said they backed requiring background checks for all gun purchases.
Another 81 percent supported improving enforcement of gun laws and raising the legal minimum age to buy guns to 21, the poll found.
I have zero problem with background checks for all firearm purchases, including transfers from person to another. I’ve said it again and again. But, that’s not what Democrats want. They want to make the checks so onerous that citizens are denied their 2nd Amendment right, as well as track every single purchase, what is being purchased, and where it will be kept. And the same for ammo.
Ban “assault rifles”? Criminals will not care. And others can just buy non-scary rifles. The smarty pants one is how Fox slipped in the bit about semi-auto, which shows what the gun grabbers really want. Well, to start with,
How about we just enforce existing gun laws? The same people who want to raise the age to 21 also want 16 year olds to vote. The Supreme Court will have something to say if Los Federales try it.
Eight in 10 also said that mental health checks should be required for all gun buyers and that police should temporarily be able to take guns away from people who have been shown to be a danger to themselves or others.
I’m for this, but, the law would have to be very, very specific to keep government from going too far and blocking some people from legally acquiring a gun. It would definitely require a hearing in front of a judge within days, and the government should be paying for a qualified lawyer.
However, despite widespread support for such measures, only 43 percent said stricter gun control laws would make the country safer, while one-quarter said it would make the U.S. less safe, the poll found.
So, if they wouldn’t make us safer, then what’s the point?
Doubt they polled the trannys.

You got it drowningpuppies. Seems those fake trans nuts are becoming very dangerous. Now they are some “people” who should be banned from firearms.

Just saw a poll that states that 80% of dems agree with an “assault weapons” ban.
Conducted my own poll and found that 100% of dems couldn’t define what makes a firearm an “assault weapon”, if their lives depended on it, apart from it is a gun that LOOKS scary to them, regardless of its caliber or capabilities.
Just more proof that keeping people as ignorant as possible is the hallmark of dem strategy for success.
At what point will the U.S. have enough guns to finally see More Guns = Less Crime?
Another one millions firearms? 10 million? 100 million?
So far we’re still at the point where More Guns = More Deaths.
More AR-15s = More Dead Kids!!
Shouldn’t the gubmint be promoting guns rather than limiting them? An assault weapon in every pot!
The homicide rate in the U.S. is double the next most murderous ‘advanced’ nation, Hungary.
Our mass shooting rate is special too! But as pointed out by our conservative brothers, mass shootings in schools, churches, malls, groceries, concerts, theaters, banks, businesses, parks and picnics are trivial and overhyped (unless your child is slaughtered), because Black guys in Democrat-run cities are the real danger!
Our conservative ‘patriot’ brethren also point out that they (with AR-15s) are all that stands between Americans’ freedom and government tyranny!
Yep!
Are ya seeing a trend here?

Your Constitutional rights are whatever the 9 members of the Supreme Court say they are. The whims of voters elects Presidents and Senators who install the members of the Supreme Court.
Since the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934, it has been illegal to possess a short barrel shotgun (a barrel length shorter than 18 inches or an overall length under 26 inches), without a paidregistration from the ATF Bureau. You have to register your firearm with the ATF!!! The Supreme Court upheld this in 1939 (United States vs Miller). Perhaps it’s time to challenge this infringement of your 2nd Amendment rights!! Just because hoodlums can use a short-barrel shotgun for crimes shouldn’t infringe on your right to protect your family!!
Nothing about barrel length, type of powder or ammunition, therefore ANY infringement is unConstitutional.
If a state can’t infringe on your right to keep and bear crowd-killers (AR-15s) how can they ban a short-barrel shotgun?? Or a machine gun?
Rimjob: If a state can’t infringe on your right to keep and bear crowd-killers (AR-15s) how can they ban a short-barrel shotgun?? Or a machine gun?
If that bothers you so much why not take the issue to court, chubby?
Or is this just another one of your faux leftist concerns?
Oh, and thanks for the copy&paste history lesson.

DickBreath,
You’re welcome!
What we pointed out is the logical inconsistency of connie/gun nuts claiming a ban on assault weapons is unconstitutional but OK with infringements on machine guns and shotguns.
If you learn nothing else today, please understand that your constitutional rights are exactly what a current Supreme Court say they are! LOL.
Of course that whooshes over your head. But then you’re only 5’2″, eh shorty?
