As if we didnt already know the answer...

ya nothing new here 1/2 the country wants your guns, socialism & taxing you out of your money

No surprises here.

Agree...no surprises, discussed points that most already know. When are politicians going to put defined party lines aside, and do what's right FOR THE PEOPLE? All of them, not just for their party members and donors...oops!

Some people believe in individual liberty. Some don't. It is pretty straight forward. The whiny anti-freedom crew can attempt to frame it in other terms, but the fact remains they are opposed to free citizens exercising their rights.

 

[VinnieBoomBah]

I'm not real interested in any poll that doesn't also include the statistics of where they polled, what time of day it was and (I know this would require some magic) how many people hung up on them and the party affiliation of those people.

So, long story short, I don't put much stock in polls.

Here's some bull crap from the article: "Having a gun in the home for hunting and/or self-protection is no longer common practice."

I guess they think 1/3 of Americans owning guns is not common practice. I'd call that very common, and that 1/3 is just the fraction that will admit they own a gun, the real number is probably higher. I'd never admit it in any kind of survey - why advertise to criminals looking to steal guns?

Yes, I remember a conversation with a college age relative... this relative stated that things such as "enforced charity" were commonly taught in the University. The idea being promulgated was that individuals, left to their own habits/beliefs/practices, would not contribute money nor effort on their own to help their brethren, and therefore for the good of all had to be forced or conscripted by a benevolent government to do what is right (via taxes and such). It comes down to individuality vs the group. Their assertion is that left to their own devices, people will not act to benefit others. So they use that assertion to further separate young skulls full of mush from their liberty. It's the same old big gov socialist scam. Yet, a simple look around gives ample, if not huge, amounts of evidence that it just ain't so. Americans remain one of the most generous people on the planet. Even considering that universities are teaching kids that gov will take care of charitable needs/efforts. We haven't reached the tipping point just yet. Now where did I put those checks to Dogs for the Deaf, Children's Hospitals, Shriner's Hospitals, Wounded Warriors, Haiti relief fund, Thai cave rescue, Bat Conservation International, Diane Fossey Gorilla fund, Marine Mammal Center, Performing Animal Welfare Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, Child Find, Ronald McDonald House, Save the Children, Innocence Project, Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, Christopher Reeve Foundation, ALS Association, Clinton Foundation, Trout Unlimited, Wilderness Society, Rainforest Alliance, Habitat for Humanity, Homes for Our Troops, Committee to Protect Journalists, Feed My Starving Children, Catholic Relief Services, Fistula Foundation, UNICEF, Simon Wiesenthal Center, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Brookings Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, Judicial Watch, Population Council, Fisher House, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc etc?
