va mtn man dec 2015:Storm Clouds on horizon. Democrats are starting too lose big on Gun Control...Imagine that.....Who could have predicted such?!
Oh my godda we all were gonna die, on or about christmas 2015.
va mtn man cont'd: What has shifted notably are attitudes on gun control. {dec 4-8 2015 cbs poll} Only 44% of Americans favor a ban on assault weapons {50% oppose}, 19 percentage points lower than after the mass shooting in Tucson in 2011.
Oh no, only 44% of murkins in 2015 supported banning assault rifles? hmm, dec 2015 was about a year & half ago, let's see what the sitch has been since then to today, aug 2017:
Hey, same poll just 6 months later!: CBS News Poll. June 13-14, 2016.
"Do you favor or oppose a nationwide ban on assault weapons?"
57 favor ... 38 oppose ..6
Dems june 2016 .. 78 favor .. 18 oppose; .. dems dec 2015 ... 64 favor ... 32
Amazing mtrn man, from -6 pt net dec 2015, to +19 pt net in just 6 short months! Storm clouds gone, mostly sunny today!
McClatchy-Marist Poll. July 5-9, 2016 N=1,214 adults nationwide.
Do you favor or oppose a law to ban the sale of assault weapons and semi-automatic rifles?"
....... Favor ..Oppose.. Unsure
ALL ....51 ...46 ... 3
Dems.. 74 ...23... 3
Rep.... 30 ...66... 4
Ind.... 48 ...49... 3
Wow, whew, what a relief, murkins have regained some of their senses, from -6 to +5 in favor of banning asslt rifles. I guess va mtn man's storm clouds have kinda dissipated into partly sunny, eh?
va mtn man: dec 2015: And while 51% favor stricter gun control in general, that is down from 58% in October.
CBS News Poll. April 21-24, 2017. N=1,214 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3.
In general, do you think laws covering the sale of guns should be more strict, less strict, or kept as they are?
.......More strict .. Less strict.. Kept as they are.. Unsure
4/21-24/17 .. 54 .. .. 11 ...... 33 ...............2
Again, support for stricter gun control regarding gun sales is up, by very same cbs, to +10 over the rest. And that 11% 'less strict' figure has kept pretty stable to 10% for past 4 years. Should we infer that only 10% of americans support the nationwide ccw law being pushed by wayne lapierre-head & his nra stooges?
Quinnipiac University. June 21-27, 2016. N=1,610 registered voters nationwide. Margin of error ± 2.4.
