Poll: Americans Peg Gun Policy as a Top Issue, Fear Government Will Go Too Far in Restricting Gun Rights

September 12, 2017 2:35 pm

A poll released on Thursday found Americans rate gun policy as a top issue in elections and fear the potential for the government to overreach with new gun-control measures.

The Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey of 1,200 adults conducted between August 5 and 9 found 35 percent of respondents listed gun rights or gun control as the top issue they considered important enough to have an impact on their voting. That's more than environmental issues at 30 percent, immigration at 28 percent, or abortion at 17 percent. Respondents picked gun policy as important to their vote more often than any other issue surveyed, though issues like foreign policy, the economy, and national defense were purposefully left out of the question.

The poll also found respondents were more worried about the government going too far in restricting the rights of citizens to own guns than the government not doing enough to regulate access to firearms. Fifty percent were more concerned about government overreach while 45 percent were more concerned with the government not doing enough. Another 3 percent were concerned about a mix of both situations, 1 percent weren't concerned about either, and 1 percent weren't sure.

What is somebody suffering flashbacks to Obama and Democrap control nightmares...? Computer was stuck in a deep freeze for 2 years?

Let's see, Republican control, major shift in Governorships, States going Shall Issue, etc... I see no worries, with the exception of Liberal Progressive strongholds, like NY, CA, etc.

So the 4th circiut court of appeals declaring the AR15 is not protected under the 2nd doesn't concern you? Gun Rights in this country are a house of cards that can blow away at any moment.

Unless or until the GOP actually shows that they care about passing a law to protect the legal possession of sporting rifles, we have NOTHING.

Do not expect anything soon, the GOP needs reasons to motivate us, the retarded-plebians, to support their loser candidates who continue to screw-over America and president Trump.

Remember how the GOP fixed Obamacare, gun rights are just a tease, the GOP has nothing, all hat no cattle.

Sadly all true. The democrats bind their constituency with freebies and identity politics. The republicans bind theirs with guns and bibles and promises of tax breaks. And all the while they conspire together to install themselves as Kings and Queens over us all, indeed have already succeeded in doing so. Trump, and this Kid Rock thing are a reaction against that. The best thing that could happen now is for the system to collapse under its own corroding corruption and for us to begin anew.

If the dems were smart they would flip on gun control.

None of their voters would leave, but a lot of us would switch if we really thought they would do better....

The only way the dems would flip on gun control is if Trump says he is for gun control.
