Gallup poll shows support for gun control cratering | Eastern NC Now

as Democrats get stuck with an unpopular position

ENCNow

The latest Gallup poll shows support for gun control among the American people cratering.  Only 20% of Americans now favor banning handguns, a major drop from recent years, and one of the lowest levels in 65 years.  Only 33% of Democrats favor banning handguns, although since they are the Democrat base that votes in primariies they trap Democrat politicians in such positions.

The only place there is even a slight majority for banning weapons is what the left falsely terms "assault rifles" where those favoring a ban have dropped 11 points to 51%.  This is largely due to the mischaracterization of semi-automatic rifles by the sinister sounding term "assault rifle".  No army in the world uses a semi-automatic any more than they use a flint lock musket.  Military rifles today are fully automatic.

There was a mass knifing by a disgruntled student at a school in China this week with several deaths and injuries. Those intent on doing these horrible things will find some type of weapon to use. There have been quite a few mass knifings in Europe this year, and even a new website to track those happening in Germany.

Americans have a greater need for self defense given the flood of illegal alien criminals that Biden and Harris have unleashed on the country. When an illegal alien pulls a knife on you, it is good to have a gun handy to stop him from stabbing you.
