....support for stricter gun control laws is at an all-time high among American voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.
Those in favor of stricter gun legislation outnumber those opposed by a measure of more than two-to-one, according to the poll....
....among gun owners, with 50% in favor and 44% not, according to the poll....

A fake poll put out by fake news.
Sure, Americans want to ban guns. Except they don’t.
I think post 1 is more accurate.
I can think of half a dozen people I know who will be for it today, because of the shooting, but will snap out of it by next week.
Nothing like a knee-jerk reaction poll to get the results you want.
President Hillary concurs.
using the same logic our entire policy on muslim immigrants should be based on our gut feelings right after a major terrorist incident.
Agreed. I also have the impression that once it is commonly known about how paid actors, Hollywood money, FBI icompetence, Soros/Bloomberg involvement, and other related things are very likely involved in this very staged and scripted production for gun control, support for it is going to drop very extremely fast.
Sorry wimps. “Shall not be infringed” overrides your feelings.
Get the constitution amended, then we will talk.
Too right, Mate. Smelled from the beginning.
A group of people do not get to remove my God given rights to protect myself.
I hope you’re right. The national and local media is joined by teachers unions and all of the Democrat party.
On the other hand, if a person like me can see this is STAGED, others can, too.
Anyway, let’s hope the NRA speaks out. Been too quiet.
Not that I believe in the poll but let us turn it abit and see what the media would say if they discovered most Americans would ban abortions.
I don’t think they would respond the same way.
Lets do a push poll on :
How many Americans want to limit the right of privacy?
Train an d arm school staff. Concealed carry with arms lockers in the schools.
Do something that works like in Israel, Wyoming or Butler County, Ohio.
America’s hatred for liberal fascists is growing exponentially. We are about to get angry enough to get rid of them for good.
“More Americans Than Ever Support Free Ice Cream On Tuesday”
The masses can have their little temper tantrum all they want. In gun-free-zone Chicago, the murders happen daily. The only ones who can protect themselves are the perpetrators. Good luck, waiting for a cop to protect you in Chicago.

Right. All our adult lives, we have been told not to make any important decisions in the midst of a crisis. Also, the infusion of the opinions of children 18 into the important decisions of how we should live and function as a nation is a fool’s dream. While we should listen to kids who have been through what has just happened in FL, we should not make them experts in any way as we think about US policy about guns, for their brains are still under construction and they will not be fully capable of adult reasoning until they reach the age of around 25. Teens react emotionally and are prone to say and do things without thinking. Because they are precious and beautiful to look at, CNN, and others hostile to our current leaders, will use them to manipulate the news. Beware, America. You have a big heart, but it is your rational thinking which will save the future for these kids, so do not give in to the urge of the MSM, and their government colleagues on the left, to “never let a crisis go to waste.”
It is to be expected, as further generations move from Rural America into cities and become brainwashed into the Leftist Collective, that more of them will want gun control. So no surprise if this trend continues over time.
As long as there is a 2nd Amendment, they can’t have it.
What we need is for Ginsberg and another commie lib to die so Trump can install 2 more pro 2nd-Amendment jurists on SCOTUS. Then they can take some of these cases where the right is infringed, and strike down the gun control as unconstitutional.
Once it is “precedent” by SCOTUS, it will be a little more difficult for the left to chip away at our 2nd Amendment rights.

Has anyone mentioned that Nikolas Cruz is the person responsible for killing
17 people? Why are there no voices asking for the death penalty?
I guess the real truth is too difficult to handle so protest guns.
Correction: Should have said, “Also, the infusion of the opinions of children, 18 years old and under, into the important decisions of how we should live and function as a nation is a fool’s dream.”
How about fully funding enforcement of the laws currently on the books? There does need to be some outside certification of eligibility other than when filling out the purchase application forms you check a pile of “no” boxes and the world is supposed to trust and believe you. Trust but verify. Always thought that was the dumbest thing.
