Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I predict this poll will be pulled soon. If not it will have a huge disclaimer: NOT A SCIENTIFIC POLL and be buried many layers deep on an PBS site. Link to comment
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 But - don't 90% of Americans support anti-gun measures as outlined by the president and his party leaders? - I reckon this PBS poll is the REAL statistic and feeling of Americans. GG ~ Link to comment

Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Are any of us surprised with the results? The surprise is that PBS would put the results up at all. Link to comment
Brasspounder Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 At every opportuity, EVERY member on the US Congress should be asked if they took the oath upon entering office that they would support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America...against all enemies, foregn and domestic. (And this goes for every press conference the president holds as well..the "press" should Ask him this direct:) . If the answer is "yes", then they/he should then be immediately asked this question: Why then are you NOT supporting the people's right to keep and bear arms as defined in the Second amendment to that Constituton? See what they say, and then (you and everybody you know) vote accordingly at the next election opportunity. Bp Link to comment
