Poll: Voters think preventing gun violence is more important than protecting gun rights

Limbaugh always said that Democrats always try to make it look like most of the country is on their side. There is no truth to it. Democrats are like peacocks where they fan their feathers to make them look bigger than they really are.

So all weekend we were bombarded with news about anti-gun protests. Now they are starting with the polls.
We regularly have mass shootings. Our law enforcement are killed weekly in shootings. Our police regularly shoot and kill people. Meanwhile countries with strong gun control don't have these problems. It's clear we need changed.

We've been through this before about a dozen times. Other countries do have their problems just like we do. You can't compare a mostly or all white country with ours. Our violent crime and gun crime has been on the decrease since the 90's up until the Ferguson effect kicked in. We are in 11th place when it comes to mass murders in the world.
Yes we can be compared to other civilized countries. I understand it doesn't work too well for you. We are 11th with only 3rd world countries ahead of us? Violent crime is up for 2 years in a row and counting. And we regularly bury our police and have mass shootings. These things don't happen regularly where there is strong gun control. FACT!

Yes, as I said, our violent and gun crime decreased until the Ferguson Effect kicked in, and only then did it start to go up. It has nothing to do with guns, how many guns, or what type of guns. It has to do with the MSM exciting all these lowlifes and they respond.
 
So much for conservatives claiming "the country," "people/the people" doesn't want "this and that" re: gun control measures.


Fox News Poll: Voters favor gun measures, doubt Congress will act



I'll tell you what "people" don't want.
  • People don't want to tune into their news channel and hear about someone else being unlawfully shot dead.
  • People don't want their federally elected representatives to keep talking about how to dramatically reduce the quantities of people who are unlawfully shot dead; they want their elected office holders to do something about it.
I think people are putting their feet down and as politely yet sternly telling their elected representatives the following:
  • You've been given suggestions from constituents on the left and the right. Take the top two or three compatible suggestions from each one and implement them and we'll see if it gets the U.S unlawful homicide rate to a total of 3.250 or fewer deaths per year, by year, for a lustrum. If what you enact doesn't do it, you need to take more draconian measures. The one thing you're not going to do and retain your set in Congress is pay us "lip service" and pass "toothless" legislation and think we'll be thereby appeased.
/----/ Libs say Fox News lies. So we can't accept this poll as being accurate. Sorry LIbs.

You are a typical ignorant American who don't know much about the world. Son most countries that have strict gun control have less mass shootings and shootings in general. You wanna keep living in denial go ahead....till then thousands will die every year from gun violence unlike most countries.
 
Interesting how your map defeats your own argument. Compared to Mexico, South America and South Africa, our gun homicide might as well be some kid shooting off a pop gun.

In essence, we own the most firearms per capita in the world, but not the highest gun homicide rate. Is there anything else you would like to misconstrue this evening?
Yes because Mexico, South America, and South Africa are really politically and economically stable... They can't do anything right. But we should clearly have a homicide rate similar to Germany and Japan.

That made absolutely no sense. Care to give that another... ahem... shot?

You are a slow one...

Was sarcasm. Clearly they are not economically or politically stable. Of course they have a high homicide rate. But Japan and Germany are economically and politically stable like us so we should have a similar homicide rate to them.

Sarcasm is not a valid argument.

So you mean after police shot an unarmed man? Something that doesn't happen in countries with strong gun control? Sorry, but your claimed cause is obviously because we have weak gun laws and too many guns. Because we have so many guns our police are regularly shot and killed. Because our police are regularly shot and killed they shoot and kill many people.

So where did you move here from that was so great?

No. Screaming "FACT!" at the top of your digital lungs does not make it fact. It just makes you look like a petulant child without a cogent argument.
Then prove me wrong. When was the last school shooting in the UK? Japan?

The UK and Japan have banned guns... but in their enormous abundance of foresight, they forgot that murders (school or otherwise) can be perpetrated with knives, or other weapons. When you take away one weapon, one will simply look for another.

They always did. So why the increase in gun and violence since Ferguson? More guns????

Where, then, is the credible effort to amend the Constitution? As long as the Second Amendment remains in effect, every gun control policy that you favor is flatly illegal; and the only way to legitimize any of it is to amend the Constitution. By wise design, amending the Constitution is not a trivial or easy task, but if the public support that you claim was really there, then there absolutely would be a credible effort to do so underway, and it would have a very high chance of success.

There is no such effort underway, because the truth is that nobody in a position to initiate any such effort believes that there is anywhere near enough public support for it to give it any plausible chance of success.

All the claimed levels of support for policies which violate the Second Amendment are flat-out lies, and you know it, as do nearly all the others who are spreading them.

You seem to have ignored the question. Again, when was the last school shooting in the UK? Japan?

In reference to your comment, it appears other ways of killing aren't near as effective...
Homicide rates
US 4.88
UK .92
Japan .31

Nice goalpost-move attempt but the topic of "mass shootings" is not the topic of "murder". Entirely different things you're trying to conflate here.

Things finally erupted when they had enough. Just like our children are now sick of seeing so many people shot and killed.

I already pointed out how incredibly stupid that response was.
