Two-thirds of U.S. weapons owners would ‘defy’ a federal gun ban

Seems like a lot of people have adopted the battle cry “molon labe”. I wonder if Obama ever studied Greek history? Oh wait he’s a lefty. Graduate of an Ivy League School and all. Well then…nah.

Washington Times – An interesting little factoid has emerged from a new Fox News poll of U.S. voters: Personal sentiments are strong and defiant among many U.S. gun owners.

Question 46 in the wide-ranging survey of more than 1,000 registered voters asks if there is a gun in the household. Overall, 52 percent of the respondents said yes, someone in their home owned a gun. That number included 65 percent of Republicans, 59 percent of conservatives, 38 percent of Democrats and 41 percent of liberals.

But on to Question 47, addressed to those with a gun in their home: “If the government passed a law to take your guns, would you give up your guns or defy the law and keep your guns?”

The response: 65 percent reported they would “defy the law.” That incudes 70 percent of Republicans, 68 percent of conservatives, 52 percent of Democrats and 59 percent of liberals.

The poll of 1,008 registered U.S. voters was conducted Jan. 15-17.
