[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Seven out of ten Americans said that new legislation reducing gun violence should be prioritized over protecting gun rights amid a particularly deadly string of mass shootings in the country, according to a new ABC/Ipsos poll.

Twenty-nine percent of those surveyed said gun rights should be a higher priority than reducing gun violence in the country, according to the poll.

Ninety percent of Democrats said lawmakers should prioritize laws focused on reducing gun violence, while 75 percent of respondents who identify as Independents said the same thing.

However, 56 percent of Republican respondents said protecting the rights of gun owners guns is a higher priority.

1. I wonder what percentage of the population are gun owners

[hack89]

3. The percentage of voters who own guns is more relevant

Opinions on gun control are somewhat meaningless if you don’t vote.

With this kind of across-the-board support HOW can this even be an issue?!!!! Like reproductive rights.....at least 70% support a woman's right to chose...HOW can this even be an issue?! VOTE DAMN IT!!!!

7. If we had a representative government, this number might be relevant.

Now, it simply highlights the people’s weakness.

8. I'm always skeptical of polls ...

... especially when they tell me what I want to hear.

That said, the thing is to do the right thing and let popularity take care of itself.

9. That's a somewhat false dichotomoy.

I'm a gun owner who is invested in gun rights and reducing gun violence.
