I know I wasn't one of the 600………….

Poll: 99.99% of the country disagrees with anything the Brady Center says …

A poll published by an anti-gun organization, conducted by a Democratic polling firm, that concludes (based on a sample population of only 600) that most Americans oppose exercising a gun right. This does not deserve to be called news. It's barely opinion. It's fiction.

Can you show us the questions on this “survey”? Let me guess:
1. If evil sadistic murderers could legally carry openly and then rape and pillage, would you
a. approve
b. disapprove

Elana Kagan's words:

“There is no question, after Heller, that the Second Amendment guarantees Americans ‘the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.”

Pretty much what the Supreme Court said. An opinion poll doesn't matter. The fact that the opinion poll was done by a Democrat organization and published by the Brady Campaign makes it even more laughable.

Well, first off, thank goodness we are not a “Democracy”. As a Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Regardless of what “most Americans” want or think, we are still “…endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights.”

Secondly, on the issue of “regulation”, what it is and its relation to keeping and bearing arms…

Larry Pratt of the Gun Owners of America said something to this effect, “I think the problem today is that people think you can't have a regulation of anything unless the Government regulates it, but our founding fathers weren't thinking that way at all.”

People (i.e. the media) keep throwing around the word “allow” when it comes to exercising our rights: “State votes to 'allow' people to carry guns” or “Should people be 'allowed' to carry without a permit”. Implying of course that it is the State or the law that grants We the People the such privileges -often with conditions attached (Background Checks, Permits, etc.), and that whether or not we should have those “privileges”, and to what degree, is open for debate.

That is not the way it works.

The government, or laws, so not “allow” us anything, We the People allow them the authority to do certain things and the Bill of Rights is a restriction on government power.

“…The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed.”

They are not to tell us what kind of guns we can or cannot have.
They are not to tell us that we must have a permit or undergo background-checks.
They are not to keep a registry of firearms.

The “Gun Rights” movement today is not to beg our rulers to “allow” us more privileges. It is the push to demand our leaders remove the unjust restrictions that have been implemented over time on our RIGHTS.

Prior to 1968 you could order a firearm through the mail with no questions asked. True “unfettered access” to firearms.

There wasn't a “prohibited persons” category (And, no there should not be a “prohibited persons” category).

I doubt their was this “Law Enforcement Only” mentality that only police should have access to certain tools, firearms, and equipment instead of We the People ALLOWING them the same tools, firearms, and equipment that we should have common access to.

See how things have become so horribly turned around?

Sincerely,
Brandon

Maybe part of people's discomfort stems from the fact that they don't know how many of their friends, family, and acquaintances responsibly own and carry guns. Maybe we should do a better job of letting people know just how many peaceful, law-abiding gun owners there are. People should also be made more aware of some of the ridiculous restrictions that gun owners have to deal with sometimes, and the fact that low crime and gun rights are compatible, as shown by states like Vermont, which has both.

Thanks for your information.

First of all these stats are quite distorted. But what can we expect given the source.
Secondly this is a Constitutional Republic. That means MY rights aren’t to be infringed on EVEN IF 90% of people arent happy about my exericising them.

Now, if I start breaking the law, THEN I’ll be charged with a crime and my rights may not be what they used to be because of proving I cant be trusted.

Barring that, however, our Constitutional Republic PROTECTS even the views of the minority. That is why we have a constitution to begin with.
So some pion with half a brain can say any damned thing he wants to say as long as hes not threatening the life and welfare of someone else.
