In U.S., Support for Assault Weapons Ban at Record Low

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The fewest Americans in 20 years favor making it illegal to manufacture, sell or possess semi-automatic guns known as assault rifles. Thirty-six percent now want an assault weapons ban, down from 44% in 2012 and 57% when Gallup first asked the question in 1996.

Still doesn't matter. That 36% is probably still full of NYC and Washington assholes who have way more pull than we do. We don't matter in these "polls", they're just a joke. It was like the election for NYS Gov when Astorino ran against Cuomo. Everyone except NYC wanted Cuomo out.

• A majority of those in households without guns oppose such a ban

Kind of makes sense, households with out guns don't want to be left without, if later they decide they want to buy one.
