Default In Kentucky and Texas, it is 11 out of 10.

A new survey of voters by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind
finds that 29 percent agree with the statement, “In the next few years,
an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our
liberties” – including 18 percent of Democrats, 27 percent of
Independents and 44 percent of Republicans.

From the survey:

Only 38 percent of Americans who believe a revolution might be
necessary support additional gun control legislation, compared with 62
percent of those who don’t think an armed revolt will be needed. “The
differences in views of gun legislation are really a function of
differences in what people believe guns are for,” said Cassino. “If you
truly believe an armed revolution is possible in the near future, you
need weapons and you’re going to be wary about government efforts to
take them away.”

The poll also found that 25 percent of those surveyed “think that facts
about the shootings at Sandy Hook elementary last year are being
hidden.” 11 percent are unsure.
