WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For the sixth consecutive year, a majority of Americans say they are dissatisfied with U.S. gun laws and policies. Fifty-nine percent of U.S. adults are now dissatisfied with the nation's gun laws and 39% are satisfied. Dissatisfaction has risen five percentage points from 2017 and is close to Gallup's 18-year high of 62%, recorded in 2016.

An excellent question mcar Feb 2018 #92

It seems that some want to help Rick Scott defeat Senator Nelson Gothmog Feb 2018 #124

You are totally misrepresenting what Nelson said. You already said he's not your Senator, but yet.. George II Feb 2018 #71

We know why. Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #21

Yeah, that's soooo NOT Democratic of you. procon Feb 2018 #26

seems like you went of half cocked in the OP and are now doubling down BoneyardDem Feb 2018 #34

I said that Nelson was more interested in defending guns than sympathizing procon Feb 2018 #48

And that is 100% incorrect. Maybe you should look up his record instead of taking shots.... George II Feb 2018 #73

Yet that IS precisely the topic I posted. procon Feb 2018 #83

That was an irrelevant dodge, are you too tired to reposte? nt procon Feb 2018 #99

Nope. But I see you've decided to resort to insulting. Very telling. Thanks! George II Feb 2018 #100

Being tired is an insult? Who knew? procon Feb 2018 #102
