This should rip the faces off all the MSM naysayers. Of course we will never hear about this in media. A poll that will be well hidden.

Interesting poll. I'm surprised that the 55+ group is 59% against.

Of course, the entire “debate” is moot. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are explicitly on our side, despite leftist wishful thinking and interpretation to the contrary.

As a side note, so is the Declaration of Independence.

"Allow"?

This presumes that rights belong to government to be dispensed only as government sees fit.

"Assault Weapon"

Is there a Peace Weapon? An un-assault weapon? A Weapon of mass goodness?

Assault is assault. I earned a black belt, I can assault most of the public as I please if I wish. Am I an assault "something"? I was also a Marine, I am a weapon that can assault (my MOS distinctly has "assault" in its title). Give me a kitchen knife or a K-Bar or even a fork, I'll assault you all day long. What about my training in demo? I can leave alllllll sorts of mean things around that you yourself would be the one to trip, who assaulted who then?

This "mean" looking guns are bad thing is just stoopid at this point. I get assaulted in the wallet daily by government before I even get a chance to fight back; yet not a peep. Isn't that what we used to call muggings?

Especially since the guns in question are not 'assault weapons.'

I don't own an assault weapon.
Those were tightly restricted by the National Firearms Act of 1934.

I do own a Tyranny Response Rifle.

I think they seriously prejudice the poll by using the expression “assault weapon”.

I’m encouraged that folks think assault weapons should be owned by individuals, but the bans being proposed want to ban repeating rifles. Fully automatic weapons are already controlled.

Do you want to ban your grandpa’s repeating rifle?
Do you want to ban it if it has a hand grip?
Do you want to ban it if it has a magazine that holds 15 rounds?
Do you want to ban it if it has a scope?
What if it’s painted a camouflage color?

I’m betting 90% would be against banning on all the above.

You had to think that all of this “anything goes” extreme individualism indoctrination that liberals were doing in their attempts to destroy American society were going to come back and bite them some day, when they have to tell young folks, who have heard all their lives “do your own thing” that, well, we didn’t really mean it.

I wish we could own assault weapons. I’d definitely buy a Chicago Typewriter.

“Young Americans ages 18-24 are more supportive of private ownership of assault weapons with 70 percent saying Americans should be allowed to own assault weapons; 27 percent think they should be prohibited. In fact, majorities support allowing Americans to own assault weapons among those under 54. In contrast, older Americans believe assault weapons should be prohibited by a 23-point margin 58 percent to 36 percent.”

Surprising about the young people...good news. My fellow baby boomers appear to have still learned NOTHING!

'Allowed'? The STOO-PID brain dead 'kids'. But it's not surprising.

The following was talked about on Glenn Beck's BlazeTv last week, Wednesday iirc. The results from a Poll of people who voted in last Nov's presidential election.

This wasn't from only ObamaPhone voters but of all voters.
We're DOOMED!
