what i found:
- Majority of US still has a favorable opinion of the NRA
- Everyone believes income taxes will climb, gun laws will be passed, debt won't change, immigration reform will not change
- tougher gun laws won't stop school shootings
- less violent crime if more people owned guns
- people will defy the government if laws were passed to take their guns.
what stands out to you, P&N?
and if you discredit the messenger, then don't post, it's a statistically significant poll.
