Don't shoot the messenger.

Half of Americans would back a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons, a new poll shows, with the majority of respondents also stating President Donald Trump is not doing enough to prevent mass shootings.
The Washington Post/ABC News poll was conducted following the deadly mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, which left at least 17 people dead and others injured.
Of the 808 adults surveyed from February 15-18, 62 percent of people do not think the president is doing enough to prevent mass shootings, with 77 percent believing Congress is not doing enough to tackle the problem.
And, in a result that demonstrates the country’s divide on gun control issues, 50 percent of Americans polled said they would support a total ban on the sale of assault weapons; with 71 percent of Democrats and 29 percent of Republicans backing a ban.
In a moving address at a gathering to remember those who had lost their lives in the attack, high school senior Emma Gonzalez addressed the reticence of politicians who had received donations from the NRA to impose tougher gun control laws.
“If the president wants to come up to me and tell me to my face that it was a 'terrible tragedy' and how it should never have happened and maintain telling us how nothing is going to be done about it, I'm going to happily ask him how much money he received from the NRA,” she said in her Saturday speech.

Your other thread got wacked?

Do 50% of Americans know what assault weapons are?

Polling after events is very unreliable

They already are banned unless you have a federal permit you fruit.

If 50% of Americans supported throwing Gays off of buildings would that make it right?

I guess that means the other 50% don't. Hmm weird.
Kinda like a Mexican standoff... but we ain't got no Mexicans.

50% of Americans don't know what an assault weapon is.

Just show the libs all the bb guns being dismantled and tell them they're assault weapons.

Yet 50% support a ban.
Interesting sampling they have there.

The saddest part about it all is, you know there's so many of these fricking ghouls who are praying for something like this to occur close to a big national election.

Please change this misleading title...........

And that 50% is willing to use guns to force the other 50% to get rid of their guns.

They polled 800 odd people and came up with that conclusion???
Do you honestly see how you are duped by reading leftist media?? Can you really not see?
