A new poll shows what a losing issue the so-called Assault Weapons ban is. Never before have so many people been against it!
The so-called assault weapons ban has always been the crack-cocaine of political strategy. Leftists who support the AWB exchange a short term political gain for a long term loss.
In the heat of the moment politicians propose utterly nonsensical solutions to gruesome crimes. Hysterical people want the government to do something, even it that something is totally irrational. After the irrational laws have been passed progressive voters quickly forget about the nonsensical law they just passed. Whatever bump in the polls the progressive big city politician got from his worthless gun law quickly fades.
Hop over to rural America and the anger over such laws doesn’t dissipate. Nearly half a decade after N.Y. State passed it’s infamous S.A.F.E act (one of the most radical gun control laws in American history) the country side is still covered in anti-S.A.F.E act signs. People opposed to these irrational laws quickly become political activist, they organize and fight back.
Progressives can’t match the enthusiasm of the NRA or GOA, because one of the first steps in becoming an activist is to learn basic facts about the issue you are fighting for. As soon as a progressive takes that first step they quickly discover that the laws they support are totally insane.
Imagine some poor progressive who wants to learn why “pistol grips” threaten the safety of our children. After five seconds of internet research he discovers that there is no logical reason to think that an AR-15 with a pistol grip is anymore dangerous than one with a universal grip. One must be totally ignorant of what a bayonet lug is, in order to believe that banning bayonet lugs on rifles will protect children from getting shot.
Read it and weep liberals: (From the Federalist)
Bill Clinton used to blamed his support of gun control for major midterm losses that the Democrats suffered during the 90’s. He was right, so-called assault weapons bans are the crack-cocaine of politicians. Whatever short term political gain Democrats got from so-called assault weapons bans are long gone and the white blue-collar Democrat voter is gone with them.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ASSAULT WEAPON
THERE ARE RIFLES AND PISTOLS. DROP THE WHEENY WHIMP LIBERAL BULL SHIT ON ASSAULT WEAPONS MAYBE FOR QUEERS BUT NOT THE REAL AMERICAN
Mr. Gazdik,
I am puzzled as to what queers have to do with assault weapons. Certainly there are some against, but certain also that there are many for, especially after the Florida episode. Can you clarify that remark. I think it would be helpful to not be misunderstood.
There is too, such a thing as an Assault Weapon. It is known as the “Squad Assault Weapon.” It is a 37mm Gatling Gun, belt fed, and supported by several members of a Military unit, known as a Squad. This little item is not available to the average American, just the Military and foreign purchasers.
So many time the left bitches about topics that have no knowledge of!
Stephen, you couldn’t be more right.
We’re all a bunch of dumb rednecks that crave freedom in its rarest form- unpoliticized
I’ve never been ask in a poll. Who was asked? Media, HRC and DEM’s
we don’t need any new gun law’s . We have laws on thew books that aren’t being enforced.
There is NO SUCH THING AS A ASSAULT WEAPON THEY DONT ASSAULT ANYONE. ITS A LIBERAL WHEENEY WHINEY BULL SHIT TERM. GET RID OF IT. THEY ARE RIFLES AND PISTOLS SCREW ASS WIPE CLINTON QUEER ILLEGAL OBAMA AND ALL THE WHINNY DEMOCRATS
I detest the phrase “assault weapon”! They may look similar to military grade, but they are not the same animal. The only thing being assaulted is the gun owner. Criminals excluded, they need to be in prison for having one.
@Bord: I always say the same, but why it’s time for a vote, the polls never support their agenda!
It is not about safety or saving lives. But it is about control of the people.
So often polls can be wrong. Just take a look at the polls before the election. The polls showed Clinton far out front of Trump. Those polls were not on track, they can be manipulated by the ones taking the polls.
The media makes all this poll crap up , They did all they could to steer voters away from Donald Trump and thank god it did not work THIS TIME, not so in past issues . The media reports only what they want us to believe
Thank You America for putting a STOP to MORE of this…
A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots! AND TYRANTS AND BUREAUCRAPS!!!
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the media panders to your openly socialist leader while the IRS targets groups with dissenting views— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government ‘cracks down’ on legal gun sales to law abiding citizens while secretly supplying illegal guns to Mexican drug cartels— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your local government (Chicago) outlawed gun ownership for ‘the safety of its citizens’ and now boasts the worst murder rate in the country — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
What a country!
How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America?

Well said Frank Brown I think you pretty much covered it all Bravo Patriot
The best comment about this country that makes perfect sense. However, I do still love my country, with its flaws and all !!!!!
Do poll’s really matter anymore? If anything this election proved otherwise.If people want guns to fight tyranny it can’t be done without assault weapons.The 2nd amendment was written to prevail against tyranny it muscats won’t do the job,lol.I don’t own a gun but if people want one then so be it.Handguns are what it causing havoc in high crime communities and the 15 assault weapon are not the weapon that is being used so as far as i am concerned the issue is mute.
Progressives, “liberals”, are the most uninformed people in the USA. They claim to have all the correct answers but they are so far off the target it’s sad. In short, they cannot
connect the dots and are about as far from reality as anyone can get. Dianne Feinstein
is the ring leader of this stupidity.
It’s about time the anti gun people start to see I’ts not the gun , It’s the person behind the gun (I don’t think the gangs care about the laws ) they are going to get their guns anyway and not worry about what you people put in laws that hurt the good people
Progressive “liberals” are the least informed people in the UA. They think they have and know all the answers to every problem. They cannot connect the dots and are so far off
reality it’s deplorable. Diane Feinstein is the ring leader of the gun control stupidity.
Liberals cannot figure out why a gun free zone is the most dangerous place to be and the
most likely place to be assaulted by someone with a firearm. Liberals cannot understand
that if all people were law abiding citizens we would not have gun problems. Liberals
assume everyone thinks like themselves. Liberals cannot comprehend the simple statement: IF GUNS ARE OUTLAWED ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS. Liberals
assume everyone respects laws, rules and regulations. The liberal mind is not connected to reality.
The AR-15 is not an assault weapon. It is a semi-automatic rifle/carbine. The left hates it because it looks scary. Actually I think it looks cool. The funny thing is that they would ban the AR-15 but not the Mini-14. Both rifles shot the same round. Both rifles operate on gas pressure. The Mini-14 comes with a normal looking stock. It doesn’t have a pistol grip so it isn’t scary looking. Only a moron would seek to ban one but not the other. Neither should be banned because we have this thing called the 2nd amendment. It gives us the right to keep and bear arms. It wasn’t put in the Bill of Rights to allow hunting or target shooting. It was put in the Bill of Rights to stop people like Dianne (notso) Fienstein, Hillary Clinton and Barry Obama from taking away our rights. The only way they can do that is to get the guns out of our hands. They are why we have the 2nd amendment. Once that goes the rest will son follow.
An AR-15 is not an Assault RIFLE. An assault WEAPON is a term fabricated by the gun-grabbers to confuse the uninformed. Basically, it is a semi- automatic rifle that cosmetically resembles TRUE assault RIFLES. It is no more dangerous than any other rifle of the same caliber, except in the minds of the anti-gun crowd. They believe that it has limitless destructive power, and will transform its owner into a homicidal maniac.
weapon bans only affect honest people and have nothing to do with safety. there only purpose is to create slavery of the people
What few people realize is gun control laws are not and never have been about public safety. They are and always have been about the safety of those in power. The first serious gun control laws appeared shortly after the Civil War as part of the Jim Crow Laws passed by entrenched southern Demorat politicians to protect their political power from potential political power of recently freed slaves. Since that time gun control laws have been used to marginalize one segment of society or another. Now that government has grown so out of its constitutional mandate politicians feel the need to limit the 2nd Amendment for the people those politicians see as a threat to their power.
Libs must NOT have served in the military or have common sense. Way back when I was in the Army, I was trained by the Military on the use of an M16. DO NOT use AUTOMATIC firing EXCEPT under certain conditions because you will NOT be able to attain target ACCURACY!!! Fast single shooting is the PREFERD firing method.
Any weapon including knifes, Bayonets and machetes are assault weapons!
Assault is a behavior, a behavior can not be assigned to an inanimate object. Therefore there is no such thing as an assault weapon.
Anything you use to “assault” someone would be an assault weapon. So watch out for assault sticks and stones! The FACT is the stricter the gun laws, the higher the crime rate. The FBI statistics bear this out. Murders by rifles are only 2 or 3 % of ALL murders regardless of the “weapon” , including FISTS. So let’s ban fists! Oh right that won’t work to well will it?
