AP also pushes the “more guns in fewer hands” meme, along with “NRA is mostly aging white males expected to die out soon”.

“More guns in fewer hands” is due to the sharp dropoff in gun owners willing to answer telephone questions from strangers.

Meanwhile, AR-15s continue to fly off the shelves, especially by not-so-Massholes in the liberal Bay State.

Will the police start knocking on doors & seizing weapons? Watch NY, CT, & CA for answers. So far, though, the po-po seem reluctant to turn every armed citizen into an enemy.

I was there for the 1989 Bush ban and the 1994 Clinton ban, and both times there were Americans “buying more guns than ever before”.

Don’t ever presume that increased sales will magically ward off anti-gun legislation.

The Dems are MORE THAN WELCOME to run on a GUN CONTROL platform.

...but they will not. Anyone guess why?

They only run these “polls” right after a tragedy like Sandy Hook....knowing that, you can see they are fishing for the desired outcome.

Yep. This is akin to the exit polls v. the actual results.

The AP’s polls: more people hate guns.

The actual results: gun sales are at record highs.

Orwellian tactics on display brought to you by the ministry of propaganda.

Yes, the most important election in America's history is a mere few months away.

President Hillary (*shudder*) along with 2-3 new marxist SCOTUS justices will mean an end to many of our Constitutional freedoms.

89 and 94 had 3.5 networks, and the press to keep people in the dark.

Today, this isnt the case.

AP polls want only criminals, and uniformed criminals to own guns.

I beg to differ.

The DNC speaker list includes at least 4 anti-police speakers whose sons were "brutally murdered" by the evil police.

I expect anti-gun rhetoric too.

Interesting, jdege. I’d make just one change.

On that third bullet point, I would drop that last clause, because we don’t need to be patronizing these types of establishments, anyway.
And, I’d rather they just post a big, readable from 30 yards away sign declaring their establishment to be ‘gun-free’. That way we can make our shopping decisions from the street rather than have to look around for some stupidly obscure sign among all the lottery, cigarette, beer and demolition derby signs taped in the windows.

More anti-American propaganda designed to soften up the country for the growing Islamic invasion

We’re supposed to believe this B.S. when Americans are buying more guns daily!

Prepare to defend yourself and family and community. Hopefully you won’t need to. But Obama is rushing as many more islamics as he can into the country — and everywhere they can get into they turn into terrorist targets and battlefields.

Yup.

If gun control is as popular as liberals think, people wouldn’t be voting with their wallets to stock up on guns, rifles and ammo.

What gun control means is you’ll be disarmed while the bad guys stay armed.

Just like in Germany and France. Mass shootings happen in the liberals’ European gun control mecca.

Let Hillary tell us next week our freedom need to be taken away for the common good.

I hear you, but there are literally MILLIONS of gun owners that still vote Democrat.

Beating up on cops - that’s fine since they need to fire up the black vote, but beating up on gun owners - that costs elections - they may throw a few bones, but very, very, little red meat on that issue.
