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. http://tinyurl.com/cokzm3s |

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. |

My favorite part of the survey: 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. There are also those who believe the recent Boston bombings were staged by the federal government. I'd bet a significant number of those folks also believe the facts about the Sandy Hook shootings "are being hidden." |
