https://www.newsmax.com/politics/secondamendment-poll-voters-guns/2021/04/15/id/1017793/


Seventy-two percent of registered voters support the Second Amendment, according to a poll released Thursday by McLaughlin & Associates.

Additionally, 73.4 percent agreed that the Founding Fathers “understood the importance of law-abiding citizens right to legally own firearms for things like hunting, sport and personal protection” and that the Second Amendment is “one of our most important and cherished civil rights in the U.S. Constitution.” .............

True they do, buuuut you aren't telling it all. Here's the rest of the story.

Of those polled who support the second amendment, 45% also supported an assault weapons ban, 54-55% support more licensing and testing for gun owners and almost 75% support background checks.

Go figure, reasonable people want reasonable restrictions so stupid people don't get their hands on the guns!

Well, sure, let the regulated militia have firearms when we're under attack.

We're not under attack by elementary school children, civilians going to buy groceries or to see a movie, or people attending a church service.

 

[adrina]

And about the same percentage want some kind of gun reform in order to put an end to this national embarrassment.

By the way, you don't get to call CNN etc "fake news" when you read that garbage Newsmax.

Something got you upset, BigGayAl?

Don't know why people think 2A is going anywhere. News flash: its not. Not in our lifetimes and almost certainly not in our children's or grandchildren.

They seem quite sensitive this morning. More so than usual. Having to spend YUGE chunks of time defending killer cops is preventing them from engaging in pearl-clutching about the Biden administration.

Good news for the 45% who support an assault weapon ban: They are already pretty much banned unless you’re LEO, military, or someone with tens of thousands to spend on an antique.

Joined 2013, only became active again now. Biden really trips up you MAGAts.

As if the Rethugs care about the LGBT.

Go suck on some peen and shut up.

Of course people support the second amendment. I don't want it taken away.

Nope, folks simply want some sort of meaningful gun reform, people are tired of going out to Walmart with the fear of some nutbag gun maniac popping them off at random. Folks are tired.

That's what these goons can't get through their thick skulls. I don't expect much from Deplorables.

Why is it these Deplorables overreact when it comes to fearing Islamic and immigrant terrorists (when most terrorism is committed by their fellow home grown rightists), but can't see the problems of not having gun reform laws? Maybe their brains are on meth or too much moonshine?

Thread starter is so dim to think people want to take the right to bear arms away.

The US is the only first world country this happens in. The only one. Gun violence doesn't have to be a way of life. But it is here.

It's embarassing, something's got to give.

100% support retaining ALL of our Constitutionally guaranteed RIGHTS. Citizens: DO NOT relinquish ANY of your Constitutional Rights.

Gotta love how lying, gun loving folks always cherry pick the facts to support their gun obsessed views.

Yes, because we have an abundance of nitwits!

You take a military weapon, remove 1 feature and claim it isn't anything like the original. That's like castrating a horse and claiming they aren't a horse anymore. They look like a horse, smell like a horse, run like a horse, can do everything that any other horse can do, less 1, but they are no longer a horse?

Yeah, uh hu, right. You believe that and I've got a bridge to sell you cheap!

False. We aren't even in the top 10 on a per-capita basis.

Full-auto isn't just a "feature" of a real assault rifle, it's the central characteristic. A more apt analogy is a horse with one leg cut off...it can still limp along slowly, but it cannot win a race.

What share of all murders and suicides in the U.S. involve a gun?

Three-quarters of all U.S. murders in 2017 – 14,542 out of 19,510 – involved a firearm. About half (51%) of all suicides that year – 23,854 out of 47,173 – involved a gun.

How has the number of U.S. gun deaths changed over time?

The 39,773 total gun deaths in 2017 were the most since at least 1968, the earliest year for which the CDC has online data. This was slightly more than the 39,595 gun deaths recorded in the prior peak year of 1993. Both gun murders and gun suicides have gone up in recent years: The number of gun murders rose 32% between 2014 and 2017, while the number of gun suicides rose each year between 2006 and 2017 (a 41% increase overall).

Gun suicides reached their highest recorded level in 2017. But the number of gun murders remained far below the peak in 1993, when there were 18,253 gun homicides – and when overall violent crime levels in the U.S. were much higher than they are today.

 

[Rotadom]

False. We aren't even in the top 10 on a per-capita basis.

The United States has the 28th-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world: 4.43 deaths per 100,000 people in 2017 — far greater than what is seen in other wealthy countries.

On a state-by-state calculation, the rates can be even higher. In the District of Columbia, the rate is 16.34 per 100,000 — the highest in the United States. In Louisiana, the rate is 10.68 per 100,000. In Texas and Ohio — the scene of two mass shootings at the beginning of August — the rates are close to the national average: 4.74 per 100,000 in Texas and 4.60 in Ohio.

And the national rate of gun violence in the U.S. is higher than in many low-income countries.

Those findings are part of the latest version of an annual report on gun violence from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, which tracks lives lost in every country, in every year, by every possible cause of death.

The 2017 figures also paint a fairly rosy picture for much of the rest of the world. Deaths from gun violence are rare even in many countries that are extremely poor — such as Bangladesh, which saw 0.07 deaths per 100,000 people.

Prosperous Asian countries such as Singapore and Japan boast the absolute lowest rates, though the United Kingdom and Germany are in almost as good shape.

"It is a little surprising that a country like ours should have this level of gun violence," Ali Mokdad, a professor of global health and epidemiology at the IHME, told NPR. "If you compare us to other well-off countries, we really stand out."
