US citizens want more guns - poll


Not sure how to look at this polling. Is it a measure of just how stupid US citizens can be? Or is it a measure of just how much of a stronghold the US NRA has over the national discourse?

In any case, the majority of people don't want a ban on assault weapons, in fact more now than in the last 20 years. 

And why? Because TERROR!©
A majority of Americans oppose banning assault weapons for the first time in more than 20 years of ABC News/Washington Post polls, with the public expressing vast doubt that the authorities can prevent “lone wolf” terrorist attacks and a substantial sense that armed citizens can help. 

Just 45 percent in this national survey favor an assault weapons ban, down 11 percentage points from an ABC/Post poll in 2013 and down from a peak of 80 percent in 1994. Fifty-three percent oppose such a ban, the most on record. ABC US
Makes you wonder doesn't it. Some over there have called the NRA a terrorist organisation. Perhaps they might be right? Just promote guns like fuck and sit back watching them all kill each other.
