I don’t believe it. Not even deep down where denial and fear dwell...

Kimberly Huebner is an exception.

Just another idiot liberal, readily apparent after reading more. No exceptions here.

The 43-year-old high school special education teacher from San Marcos, Texas, grew up in a household with guns and learned firearms safety.

Good for her. And the point of that point is...?

Too bad she hasn't learned to keep her damned mouth shut when liberal dumb ass poll takers come around. Now the JBT's know exactly where to start.

Can you say OPSEC?

She also believes some restrictions should be imposed, including a ban on AR-style firearms and high-capacity magazines.

What the hell did I tell you?

Hey, Kimberly, will you be the first to give yours up?

Can you elaborate on that "some restrictions" BS and then give us a good definition of the word "infringe"?

Can you also wade through the myriad of government-imposed laws and regulations already in place, and tell us uneducated masses just how MORE stupid laws will help any damned thing?

Stupid, freaking idiots...willing to give up even more and more of our God-given rights, if it saves just one life. (And the foregoing was said in a very sarcastic manner. Just use your imagination.)

How 'bout we enforce the stupid ass laws already on the books, Kimberly?

Ain't that a novel idea?

No, it's easier to engage in knee-jerk stupidity and stick your dumb ass head in the sand...advocate for even more worthless laws and become stupider and stupider, or did you pee your pants just because some liberal poll-taker wanted your worthless opinion on something?.

Damn, these people piss me off!

Almost everyone I ask is for “common sense” gun control. First, if you’re muslim, you can’t possess a gun (or a truck). A small positive common sense control. Second, if you commit a violent crime with a gun, ‘see ya’. Third, if you are liberal and vote for Clinton (either one) you are permanently prohibited from having a gun. Let’s apply these “common sense” rules for ten years and see what happens.

“that’s what the bill of rights is all about; to protect our rights against the tyranny of the majority, should that majority become confused or misled.”

That’s a fact.

YOU CAN’T buy a gun in Germany yet some 18 year old homicidal Iranian/German got a Glock and 300 rounds...the problem is not the law its the crazies with guns. Make being crazy illegal or better yet lock them up before they do any damage!

“It is all simply a matter of how you phrase the question.”

That, whom you ask, and how you adjust the results based on the gender, age, political affiliation and other demographic factors of the sampled population.

I think this is a manufactured opinion.

Based on current talking points, here's how they are probably phrasing the questions to get the answers they want to nullify the second amendment.

Do you prefer:
- Continued availability to the general public of high powered weapons like assault rifles, or
- Common sense gun controls, like using the No Fly list to keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists

For a change, why don’t they make laws that apply to criminals? The more they limit a good citizen, the more they even the struggle. If no one has guns, then the criminals will have guns. If everyone has guns, then the citizen can protect themselves because the criminals will still have guns. If you make a law that says if you are found guilty of criminally shooting someone with a gun, you will be executed within one year. This way everyone has guns, but the criminals are no longer alive to use theirs. “Voila!” Problem solved. Everyone has guns, no more criminals. Also takes care of other problems like unemployment, drunk driving, fast and furious, and about any other headache the criminals can come up with. Simple.

Children are taught in school now to fear guns. That generation will gladly give them up.

B

S

This ‘poll’ is put out after every major criminal attack involving a gun.

Then, a couple of days following, several other sources (NRA, for example) put out polls showing just the opposite and usually a massive increase in gun purchases.

This ‘poll’ is just another propaganda piece to further the anti-gun narrative.
