February 20, 2018 - U.S. Support For Gun Control Tops 2-1, Highest Ever, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Let Dreamers Stay, 80 Percent Of Voters Say; https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2521 "American voters support stricter gun laws 66 - 31 percent, the highest level of support ever measured by the independent Quinnipiac University National Poll, with 50 - 44 percent support among gun owners and 62 - 35 percent support from white voters with no college degree and 58 - 38 percent support among white men. Support for universal background checks is itself almost universal, 97 - 2 percent, including 97 - 3 percent among gun owners. Support for gun control on other questions is at its highest level since the Quinnipiac University Poll began focusing on this issue in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre: ## 67 - 29 percent for a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons; ## 83 - 14 percent for a mandatory waiting period for all gun purchases. It is too easy to buy a gun in the U.S. today, American voters say 67 - 3 percent. If more people carried guns, the U.S. would be less safe, voters say 59 - 33 percent. Congress needs to do more to reduce gun violence, voters say 75 - 17 percent. Stricter gun control would do more to reduce gun violence in schools, 40 percent of voters say, while 34 percent say metal detectors would do more and 20 percent say armed teachers are the answer. "If you think Americans are largely unmoved by the mass shootings, you should think again. Support for stricter gun laws is up 19 points in little more than 2 years," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll." |

I agree, the problem is, Liberal Democrats want to ban all semi automatics. This I do not agree with. Yes on stricter background checks and longer waiting periods. I will not however be disarmed like the poor farmers being slaughtered in South Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj4AcjyuV38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCLJRVbaMyQ&t=33shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TfAq3LrIjg Edited by Alt Right PEPE, Feb 21 2018, 10:23 AM.

Progs misconstrue support for some restrictions on guns as support for a ban. They can’t be trusted; they don’t operate in good faith. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |
