Polling Oops

WRAL.com has an opinion piece calling for pretty much every violence-enabling victim-disarmer’s wet dream.

“We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. And if we can’t ban assault weapons, then we should:

— Raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21. It’s backed by 80% of the nation’s voters.

— Strengthen background checks. It’s backed by 88% of the nation’s voters.

— Enact safe storage laws and red-flag laws. It’s backed by 84% of the nation’s voters.

— Repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability. It is backed by a plurality of the nation’s voters.

— Address the mental health crisis deepening the trauma of gun violence and as a consequence of that violence.”

My, my. Those overwhelming poll numbers are really persuasive, eh?

Since I spoke of it the other day, I’ll take time to laugh at this claim:

More school-aged children have died in the last 20 years from guns than on-duty police officers and active-duty military combined.

Sure they have. Once you throw out the standard federal definition of “child” to inflate the numbers 6 times.

But back to the poll numbers. The best part is its own poll included on this very column.

Huh. Instead of 80+ percent in favor of chucking the Constitition, WRAL found…

64% (as of 6/5/22, 7:30AM) opposed to all those added infringments. With “54,632 RESPONSES>”

Any bets on how long it’ll take WRAL to pull that poll? And probably can the “digital editor” who thought including a survey was a good idea in the first place?

One thought on “Polling Oops”

  1. The left will continue to trigger spree killings without stop until they succeed at disarming us. They have zero qualms about how many people are murdered….as long as they get what they want. They have proven for decades that they will never quit, give up, go away or cease trying to destroy freedom. As long as we allow them to continue turning O2 into CO2 they will continue trying to end ALL of our freedoms.
