CCRKBA Lauds New Poll Showing Less Support for Stricter Gun Laws
October 7, 2009Only days after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to one of the nation's most egregious gun laws, a new Rasmussen poll shows waning support for stricter gun laws. The Citizen's Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today that the poll results indicate strongly that "America's philosophical pendulum is definitely swinging back in favor of gun rights and individual liberty." "Whether Congressional anti-gunners like it or not," observed CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, "the American public has wised up to the fact that prohibitive gun control measures, like the gun ban in Chicago that is now being challenged in the Supreme Court, have not stopped violent crime and only disarm the victims. Americans are concerned about their personal safety and the safety of their families, and they have had it with Utopian gun bans that leave them defenseless against merciless thugs." Full release.
