Don’t believe politicians concerning gun owner opinions

I’m sick of hearing that gun owners think this, and gun owners think that. The NRA-ILA went right to the source and commissioned a poll of 1,000 NRA members and the opinion of those members and gun owners certainly do not match up to any gun control politician’s remarks.

Here is the full poll, and some results are below. The “survey consists of 1,000 NRA members and was stratified by state to reflect voter distribution in the 2012 presidential election. The margin of error for this survey is +/- 3.09%.”

  • 92.6% think the country is heading on the wrong track.
  • 90.7% favor reforming our mental health laws to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill.
  • 5.3% of NRA members favor making it completely illegal to own high-capacity magazines … required buy back.
  • 88.5% oppose new federal assault weapon ban.

    Gun CONTROL politicians don’t want gun owners, or anyone who knows what they are talking about concerning firearms, to be part of their one-sided war on gun owners.
    The Anti-Civil Rights treasonous politicians will say anything and do anything to pander to their money providers. Lying about a poll that they either never made or conducted with a 100 % liberal Democrat sampling is just a day at the office for them.
    The treasonous politicians have offered the low information voter a steady diet of misinformation, lies and Democrat talking points. The liberal media loves portraying gun owners as evil and villains. Neither the media nor the gun banning politicians want the gun owners to be anything but silent patsies for their false rhetoric and anti-gun narrative.

    Reminds me of the town hall debates on healthcare- it’s all a pretext to another grab at power. ?Our dear leader thrives on controversy and galvanizes his base by vilifying anyone who opposes him- real or straw man. Obama will do an 11th hour push on a feel good bill that nobody’s read, he’ll bribe and withhold funds, and all the while he’ll keep repeating- “if you like your AR-15, you can keep your AR-15…”. ?It’s a very simple strategy, but nobody will get angry until the $500 per bullet surcharge kicks in after the next election is stolen. ?History repeats itself…

    Yeah when Lott interviewed Professor Zero he got told point blank “I dont think people should be able to own guns.”? Funny how one has to lie to get people to vote for him.? And then if that fails find some bags of votes in specially targeted inner cities and tell the country you won.

    Speaking of ?Professor Zero, he’s in part 3 of the Feb 28th podcast mentioning the white house and Biden calling Colorado state legislators promising campaign help from Obama if they vote for gun control; and promising to run opponents against them in primaries if they don’t toe the gun control line. ?This caused seven legislators to switch their votes and resulted in four anti-gun bills in the house. ?This is more criminal than Watergate!
