The gun grabbers have a new poll out, and it shows that Americans oppose concealed carry by overwhelming numbers. According to the poll, only 1 in 4 Americans thinks concealed carry should be legal, and nearly 2/3 of people wet their pants at the thought of entering a public place where concealed handguns are allowed.
"These numbers from the Gallup poll speak for themselves: The gun lobby's agenda to permit the carrying of hidden, loaded handguns in public is extremist and out of the mainstream," said Jeri Bonavia, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort. "Lawmakers should know when they push for CCW legislation, they're going out on a limb for a radical policy that is not supported by the voters in their districts."Other civil rights violations that had popular support:

The poll shows that the anti-gun people have been successful (with the media's help) in a propaganda campaign full of lies and misinformation to the public. I would also like to see where the poll was conducted, and the results by area. People in NY will answer in a different fashion from someone in a town in a western state.

Posted by: Phelps at June 16, 2005 5:34 PMStrange that CNN and USA Today don't have any reports on this poll. You'd think this would have been a wonderful thing for them to trumpet around.
I can't stand these polls. No information anywhere on the data, unless you pay of course. I'm betting that this is a poll of a small number of people primarily from large metropolitan areas. That is if Gallup even knows who they were or where they were when they took the poll.
I'm sure this will be getting more movement in the MSM shortly. Nothing like affirmation of their propaganda than a good ole Gallup poll.
