It at least gives a good indication of what the Democrats look like. At the very least looking at those numbers around 40% of Democrats at bat shit crazy liberals. Then there's another 20-30% who seem to be half-and-half and maybe there's a bit of hope for the rest. Either way, it's only 443 people who were surveyed. Very small population of people.
There's been a rapid shift in liberal ideals these past few years. Trump is driving the left insane. I can only hope that this alienates independents and turns the country against the Democrats, because if it doesn't, we're going to see this insanity turn into policy, and leftist gun policy is increasingly looking like a harbinger of civil war.
The left was like the friend who was kind of a dick but you put up with them because you wanted to be nice until you got tired of it and started to push back against them and they got mad at you and said they were only friends because you have a car.
It's a strange reaction to tyranny. You can't take all of the policies and positions the Democrats hold as a party and make a coherent vision of reality out of it, and this is just a single manifestation of that.
Another is abortion. Regardless of how you feel about the procedure, it is so unevenly applied to minorities that in any other context it could be seen as a soft genocide. If for some reason conservatives were for the same exact policy, liberals would decry it as exactly that.
Well, its become increasingly obvious that they've decided to target the guns state-by-state. Each new rule and law will have to be fought all the way to the SC. That'll take so long, it's obvious they're hoping they'll have all the guns before the lawsuits are all decided.
It's the only way the Communists can win. If they can't con you into voting them in by calling themselves "Socialists", they disarm you and begin the slaughter until the cowed, helpless populace surrenders to their tyranny.
Question for the "but muh free stuff!" crowd: If you get what you pay for (and you always do, except when you pay too much), riddle me this -- what do you get when you pay nothing?!
I'm pretty sure around 36% are also gun owners. Theres a huge disconnect between dems and their base on guns, similar to reps and their base on weed. Both are fuckin retards for holding the stances they do, but fortunately for us weed is less important than guns.
Which is sort of the whole issue. The people that want weed to be their hill to die on are utter retards. Weed prohibition is one of the pinnacles of first world problems. Expend your effort on something a little more substantial instead of "muh weed lol".
So 62% don't, lol. what kind of party is it that is pushing ideas most of their own base don't believe in, hahaha. Clown world, dems are like retarded sheep
And 64% don’t apparently. Combine that with the much larger number of Republicans supporting gun rights and we see that a very small amount of people support confiscation. That being said.... I’m sure these polls are a lie and designed to shape opinion. Over time expect the numbers to creep up and politicians use it as justification for proceeding anyway. Much like the “gay marriage” polls ..... gay marriage didn’t have, and still doesn’t have, mainstream support, although you would believe it does if you listen to the media.
It's "empirically false" you say? You got a survey of the vast majority of the American population that supports that conclusion? No longer being vocal about something does not equate to "not caring".
You got proof to say contrary? Only mainstream hate I see these days is towards white people. No one cares what people do in the bedroom as long as its consenting adults.
Trump was the first president to support gay marraige before he got elected. Times change. Priorities change. Trying to be the moral arbiter over people's lives is not a winning strategy.
What if this really means that a lot fewer people self-identify as Democrats? With a base that is shrinking as the reasonable people leave, the % of nuts in the party will rise.
Of course they do, if you believe in ultimate government power then only the government should have easy access to lethal force. Look at how well it’s working out for the people of Hong Kong. Unfortunately these dummies are too stupid to look at what’s happening right in front of their dumb fat faces.
Something like it. 64% of Dems are against gun confiscation, and over 80% of Republicans are against it. Libertarians are more in agreement with Republicans.
A reminder that these beliefs are not "liberal" or "extremely liberal":
Liberal, from Merriam Webster: 'a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties'
These far-left beliefs that more and more in the Democrat party are standing for are authoritarian: 'of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority', 'of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people'.
The 'leaders and elite not constitutionally responsible to the people' are all the alphabet people and their agencies. By taking away the 2nd Amendment it would take away the intrinsic right to overthrow a tyrannical, authoritarian government, when one arises again in the future. The government will have tightened it's hold on the freedoms of all Americans, and the useful idiots in the Democrat party will be to blame.
Polls are to persuade you, not to inform you.
THIS.

This. Here’s an example of how it works. It’s an old meme but it still checks out.

I think he's just exposing it.

Rebublicans need to make a move on mental health, and repeal gun free zones. If we don't mitigate mass shootings, that number will rise.
this guy gets it
Depending on how Virginia goes it can be a major push back on gun laws.
Virginia's laws need to go to the SCOTUS asap. All of it is unconstitutional.
Well, its become increasingly obvious that they've decided to target the guns state-by-state. Each new rule and law will have to be fought all the way to the SC. That'll take so long, it's obvious they're hoping they'll have all the guns before the lawsuits are all decided.

. . . aaaaaaaaaand that answers itself.
Democrats are domestic enemies.
I'll bet the reason 60+ percent want to repeal the tax cuts because it literally has President Trumps name in it.
60+% of Democrats dont work
They see it is as cutting into their social welfare programs, so they'd be losing their gibs.
I'm pretty sure around 36% are also gun owners. Theres a huge disconnect between dems and their base on guns, similar to reps and their base on weed. Both are fuckin retards for holding the stances they do, but fortunately for us weed is less important than guns.

That sucks but at least it's no where near the majority. Time to convince the retards to switch sides.
%100 of American Patriots say come get some.
So 62% don't, lol. what kind of party is it that is pushing ideas most of their own base don't believe in, hahaha. Clown world, dems are like retarded sheep
It's still a pretty high percentage of people who want to take away a constitutionally guaranteed right.
Imagine the reeing if 36% of Republicans wanted to revoke voting rights for women?
This country was founded through the use of arms; it was expanded through the use of arms. Our natural rights are protected through the use of arms.
When they come for your rights, they come for the guns first.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

Pretty sure most people dont care about gay marraige these days. Saying it doesnt have mainstream support is empirically false.
My support for LGB stops with LGB.
T, and whatever else they want to add, need mental help, not acceptance.
It's "empirically false" you say? You got a survey of the vast majority of the American population that supports that conclusion? No longer being vocal about something does not equate to "not caring".

Try searching the web instead of asking me to do it for you.
36% support sending armed men to kill you and your family for having an item in your house.
What if this really means that a lot fewer people self-identify as Democrats? With a base that is shrinking as the reasonable people leave, the % of nuts in the party will rise.
That sounds like the percentage of radicals in their party. The blacks don't agree with this because they know criminals will always get guns.
Of course they do, if you believe in ultimate government power then only the government should have easy access to lethal force. Look at how well it’s working out for the people of Hong Kong. Unfortunately these dummies are too stupid to look at what’s happening right in front of their dumb fat faces.
Which is what.. 12% of the population.
Something like it. 64% of Dems are against gun confiscation, and over 80% of Republicans are against it. Libertarians are more in agreement with Republicans.

Then follow up with the bayonet.
Trump is hitler, please take my guns
They spelled commies incorrectly.
Propaganda works.
What percent of Republicans are down for them to try XD?
Polls always told me that Hillary was a guaranteed win for the office in 2016.
So, 64% of Democrats DO NOT favor gun confiscation.
That 36% is made up of 0% of people capable of removing my weapon from my cold dead hands.
