It seems that all the gun-grabbing by former-mayor Bloomberg and others
is having the opposite effect on the majority of Americans.
By a margin of 52 percent to 46 percent, Americans say protecting the rights of gun owners is more important than gun control, according to a survey
by the Pew Research Center released Wednesday. It is the first time Pew
found more support for gun ownership than gun control in more than two
decades of surveys on the issue.
I think
the world is seems more dangerous (it really isn't though) than ever
with riots, ISIS, ebola, police shootings etc putting Americans on edge.
The best way to feel like you are protecting yourself and your family
is to arm thyself in case something bad happens. This part was very
interesting:
Among African-Americans, Pew found a dramatic shift in opinion. A
majority of blacks, 54 percent, now say gun ownership does more to
protect people than to endanger personal safety. Two years ago, only 29
percent of black Americans held that view.
I
mean a young black male now has to worry that a cop can strait-up choke
you to death on camera and is found innocent by a grand jury. The
system now seems to be stacked against many people so concealed carry
might be one way of making a law-abiding black male feel safe. The idea
that only the criminals and the cops are armed no longer works anymore.
