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.

Advocates for stronger gun controls aren't helped by making statements
like, "It's a start" (when the watered down bill for background
checks was being debated) and, "We can start with background checks,
bans on assault type weapons and limits on magazine sizes."
Statements like this were and continue to be made by people like Diane
Feinstein and other advocates for stronger gun control laws and by
simple interpretation leads one to believe there's more coming once
those goals are accomplished.

I don't have any problem with universal background checks. It's a
common sense issue plus in my state we are subject to one anyway in
order to get a permit and each time we purchase a gun. You need a
permit just to buy ammo. However, the two Boston bombers were/are MA
residents, neither had a permit for handguns and neither had a firearm
background check. They still were able to obtain guns and kill with
them. I think everyone knows that background checks by themselves
will have little affect on the criminals of the world and therefore
fully expect much stronger regulations to be phased in over time.
So, the result is to oppose against *any* regulations or bans by many.
