"This year's poll finds support for a variety of gun-control measures at historical lows, including the ban on handguns, which is Gallup's longest continuing gun-control trend...

JohnRich 4 #3 October 28, 2011 QuoteGood news but the hold-outs are still so violently vocal! Yes, I think we've turned the corner on gun control, and due to years of education by organizations like the NRA, the public finally realizes the futility of gun-control, the value and validity of the 2nd Amendment, and no longer blindly accepts the lies put forth by anti-gun organizations like the Brady bunch. Truth, is winning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie5 0 #4 October 28, 2011 The inverse relationship to legal gun ownership and gun crime seems to be a pretty straight forward statistic too.The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #5 October 28, 2011 Among the liberals I know personally, I can think of only maybe 2 or 3 who think guns should be banned. The rest of them are neutral or don't care much about the issue one way or the other, or they don't seem to disagree when you point out that more restrictive gun laws do not reduce murders/violence.
