Half of all Dems want to ban all guns. Majority of Dems want to ban semi-automatic guns.

Of that number, YouGov found that 73 percent of self-identified Democrats “strongly” favor banning semi-automatic firearms. The survey found that an additional nine percent “somewhat” favor a ban of that sort.

Translation: 82 percent of surveyed Democrats say they favor a ban on semi-automatics, which would include not just rifles like the one used in the Feb. 14 Parkland massacre, which claimed the lives of 17 people, but also most handguns.

That’s a hell of a ban.

Fifty-three percent of Republican respondents said they’d oppose such a ban.

To be fair, though, the YouGov survey doesn’t bother to define terms, so it’s possible respondents just assumed the semi-auto question was in reference to AR-15-style rifles only. Still, that doesn’t speak well to the general population’s literacy regarding a fairly common product and an extremely topical subject


Nobody wants to take away your guns.

The gun grabbing crowd is infinitesimal.

In order for the left to move forward with their plans for white genocide they'll have to confiscate firearms.

Most Dems are too dumb to know what a semi-automatic is. They hear “automatic” in the definition and think you can shoot 300 rounds a second with it.

This just proves how ignorant they are about semi-automatic firearms.

Don’t kid yourself.

Their end game is to get them all. Revolvers, shotguns, muskets, whatever.

Not what the article says.
quote:

“Do you favor or oppose … (banning) the sale of all handguns, except those that are issued to law enforcement officers.”

If you can believe it, Democratic respondents were split on this question. Forty-four percent said they would support such a ban, while a oh-so-slightly larger 46 percent said they would oppose it.
Sounds like a bit less than half of Dems want to ban the guns that are actually used in most murders. I disagree, but let’s stick to the actual facts, shall we?

44 to 46

10% not answering

Looks like an even split at an area that is statistically indistinguishable from halfway.

Jesus. “Handguns” versus “all guns.”

The chorus from those advocating an expansive reading of the Second Amendment is ALWAYS “Why are the gun-grabbers complaining about my AR, when handguns are the weapon used in most murders?”. Here, it looks like the Dems are finally looking at that issue.

You misrepresented the article/poll. It said “handguns.” You said “all guns.”. Just own it. If it was just a mistake, just admit it.

I don’t think that the Second would allow a ban of either class of weapon, but that is an entirely different question. Just be honest.

Dems should and can self-ban themselves from owning all firearms. They could easily eliminate all the problem there.

It’s the old conservative vegetarian vs. liberal vegetarian thing.

Conservative vegetarian - happy with his salad. You want to eat a steak? Not MY thing, but hey, knock yourself out. Enjoy.

Liberal vegetarian - NOBODY should eat meat of any kind.

Washington Examiner



So, you read a headline from a Right-leaning media outlet, and didn't even bother to read the article (which is inconsistent with said headline). OK.
