<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nHondo sends us a link from the Christian Science Monitor<\/a> which reports that more Americans support gun rights than support more gun control according to a Pew Research Center survey<\/a>;<\/p>\n The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Dec. 3-7 among 1,507 adults, also finds a shift in attitudes about whether gun ownership in this country does more to protect people or put people\u2019s safety at risk. Nearly six-in-ten Americans (57%) say gun ownership does more to protect people from becoming victims of crime, while 38% say it does more to endanger personal safety. In the days after Newtown, 48% said guns do more to protect people and 37% said they placed people at risk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Gun grabbers said, after the murders at Newtown, that we needed to have a discussion about guns in this country. Of course, before there was a discussion, some Governors shoved irrational gun controls down the throats of their constituents. In the rest of the country, there was a real discussion and Americans have determined that more control is not necessary;<\/p>\n Over the past two years, blacks\u2019 views on this measure have changed dramatically. Currently, 54% of blacks say gun ownership does more to protect people than endanger personal safety, nearly double the percentage saying this in December 2012 (29%). By contrast, whites\u2019 views have shown less change: 62% now view guns as doing more to protect people, up from 54% in December .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Apparently, President Obama was right, we did need to have a discussion about guns. Good thing that we had one, ain’t it? Good thing that he didn’t get his way, good thing that the Senate didn’t get their way, good thing that we can have discussions without them.<\/p>\n I want to thank the gun grabbers for their irrational chatter about “30 clip magazines”, rifle sling swivels that launch grenades and their “Ghost Guns”. Their incompetence in the discussion is what turned American opinion against them. Personally, I hope they keep yammering and proving that they have nothing to add to the discussion except hyperbole and conjecture. Their irrational fear of pistol grips, flash suppressors and bayonet lugs is their undoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
