Not according to Gallup, just most US voters; Gallup DOES say 58% of the US wants more gun control. Joel Send a noteboard - 28/12/2012 10:22:19 PM
http://www.gallup.com/poll/159569/americans-stricter-gun-laws-oppose-bans.aspx

As previously noted, 54% of Americans told Gallup they support the NRA and 58% told Gallup they want more gun control. I think (hope) this L.A. Times analysis is most accurate: Most Americans (including me) do not want to ban any guns, but do want to significantly increase background checks and other means to deny dangerous INDIVIDUALS guns. According to Ipsos polls conducted before and after the Sandy Hook shootings, support for moderate to strong gun control rose from 59% to 69%, while support for unrestricted gun access held steady: At 6%. Support for mandatory background checks climbed slightly from 88% to 91%.

I have this to say about that... DREWRULESWOT! - 28/12/2012 07:10:52 AM 941 Views
That was rather long but probably one of the best things I've read this year Isaac - 28/12/2012 02:31:24 PM 685 Views
Excellent article by a knowledgable individual armed with facts. *NM* HyogaRott - 28/12/2012 04:36:23 PM 335 Views
See my response to Novo. Joel - 28/12/2012 06:28:00 PM 790 Views
please cite the errors, manipulations, or lies. HyogaRott - 28/12/2012 09:30:28 PM 740 Views
I cited two in response to her, and those were just the ones I remember off the top of my head. Joel - 28/12/2012 11:07:36 PM 877 Views
If you can't remember them, then don't claim them *NM* Isaac - 29/12/2012 03:08:08 AM 393 Views
Two just from memory is enough to substantiate my claim. Joel - 29/12/2012 03:35:49 AM 760 Views
'Substantiate your claim'? I don't think you're lying, I just don't feel any reason to be swayed... Isaac - 29/12/2012 04:00:10 AM 664 Views
... and probably never will, but, alright, here we go: Joel - 05/01/2013 06:53:23 PM 735 Views
Probably, but at least I'll listen Isaac - 05/01/2013 08:30:48 PM 768 Views
The 2 things you attempted to "cite" were absolute nonsense and proved nothing. HyogaRott - 31/12/2012 06:00:00 PM 739 Views
Was that response meant for me or Correia? Joel - 05/01/2013 07:04:31 PM 693 Views

Never point a gun at anything you are not going to shoot, nor shoot anything you do not mean to kill Joel - 28/12/2012 06:13:20 PM 773 Views
Still losing the gun debate and it's driving you a little crazy isn't it! Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 06:40:51 PM 626 Views
Gallup: 58% want more gun control; Ipsos: 70% want more gun control, 90% want background checks. Joel - 28/12/2012 10:29:50 PM 781 Views
..and 100% want to win the lottery, but it isn't going to happen. HyogaRott - 05/01/2013 02:17:50 PM 847 Views
None of that prohibits regulation, only outright bans. Joel - 05/01/2013 05:25:56 PM 815 Views
I totally disagree with that, it is just wrong-headed Isaac - 29/12/2012 03:51:19 AM 903 Views

Great read, thanks for posting! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 05:52:29 PM 340 Views
Yeah, uh, no. Not until you do some serious background checks on teachers. Ghavrel - 29/12/2012 01:00:20 AM 813 Views
GOP estimates of teacher competence have increased to the point of giving them concealed guns. Joel - 29/12/2012 02:36:08 AM 895 Views
You know the GOP is unlikely to object to background check on teachers, the unions might Isaac - 29/12/2012 02:56:06 AM 761 Views
Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed it a lot A Deathwatch Guard - 29/12/2012 01:36:33 AM 720 Views
his premise is "there's already too many guns so why bother trying anything at all now" moondog - 07/01/2013 06:27:20 PM 767 Views
I don't think that's his sole premise but it's also quite true Isaac - 07/01/2013 07:05:20 PM 802 Views
i think you're missing a piece of the puzzle moondog - 07/01/2013 07:23:02 PM 735 Views
I'm not missing it, I just don't think it's wise or especially moral Isaac - 07/01/2013 09:36:05 PM 787 Views
moral has nothing to do with it, imho moondog - 07/01/2013 11:26:00 PM 832 Views
Re: moral has nothing to do with it, imho Isaac - 08/01/2013 05:40:46 AM 682 Views
last thoughts..... moondog - 08/01/2013 05:18:35 PM 716 Views
Data is data my friend. Please feel free to present your own data if you would like. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 05:49:09 PM 363 Views
Well I was referring more to the timing of collecting data. callandor1000 - 29/12/2012 04:28:01 AM 922 Views
Is that the same Gallup that said 54% of America would vote Romney? Joel - 28/12/2012 06:15:43 PM 855 Views
Once again data is data.....feel free to cite other polling data. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 06:38:29 PM 353 Views
The goddamn frigging election. *NM* Stephen - 28/12/2012 07:13:04 PM 360 Views
Oh, was the NRA running for something? Good grief, was a ridiculous reach. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 08:07:56 PM 364 Views
No, but it shows Gallup polls are horseshit. *NM* Stephen - 28/12/2012 08:48:12 PM 352 Views
No it doesn't, it only shows that Romney was more awful of a candidate than Obama was. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 09:14:00 PM 373 Views
Not according to Gallup, just most US voters; Gallup DOES say 58% of the US wants more gun control. Joel - 28/12/2012 10:22:19 PM 937 Views
Yes. Most of us aren't against guns per se; we're against the inane concepts of gun "shows" Ghavrel - 29/12/2012 01:06:50 AM 672 Views
Exactly, crazy libs like Joel want to get rid of all guns, but normal Americans..... Anonymous2000 - 29/12/2012 01:36:00 AM 710 Views
Link a single post where I said I wanted to get rid of all guns. Joel - 29/12/2012 02:29:53 AM 798 Views
Then what would you suggest? Great Lord of Chaos - 29/12/2012 07:23:27 AM 847 Views
Too bad the radical fringe on both sides drowns us both out so well. Joel - 29/12/2012 02:25:31 AM 833 Views
Previous polling failures by Gallup are evidence for the claim that Gallup polls are flawed. Ghavrel - 29/12/2012 01:05:08 AM 829 Views
Gallup was Romney +1 with +/- 4% on Election Day.....turned out Obama +3. Anonymous2000 - 29/12/2012 01:33:45 AM 667 Views
So what I don't understand about this whole teachers with gun thing Spriteling - 30/12/2012 12:42:05 AM 814 Views
It would strictly be voluntary Isaac - 30/12/2012 03:02:18 AM 781 Views
You seriously don't think a linebacker can take a gun off a 5' teacher?He can just punch her. Ghavrel - 30/12/2012 09:45:05 AM 775 Views
He can already punch her, not all schools are high schools and that's not the norm for spree killers Isaac - 30/12/2012 03:05:55 PM 851 Views
Leveling that playing field is much of the point of guns. Joel - 05/01/2013 05:43:47 PM 813 Views
You aren't familiar with guns if you think that a large male can't disarm a woman who has one. Ghavrel - 07/01/2013 10:14:21 AM 776 Views
Well Paul Ali Slater didn't, disarming is risky, and he seems familiar enough with them to me *NM* Isaac - 07/01/2013 01:25:28 PM 404 Views
