According to this Gallop poll, 73% of people agree that the 2nd Amendment is a guaranteed personal right, like the other rights in the Bill of Rights.. To extend this, this means that the vocal minority are making a lot of noise. Yes, as we already knew, the Anti's are the minority, almost by more than 3 to 1. To extrapolate further 93% of the people polled believe that there is a fundamental right to have firearms in this country (73% for individuals and 20% only for militia). 7% are undecided. The Anti's would have us all believe that there is a huge portion of the country that wants no guns, period.
To add insult to injury, 6% of those polled who stated they believed that only militia should have guns own guns.
Additionally, the number of people who want gun control to be more strict has dropped from 54% in 2000 to 49% in 2008, while those who want gun ownership laws to become less strict has gone up from 31% to 38% in the same time frame.
It's an interesting poll, and surprising that the anti-gun media would be publish it.
