http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/18/fox-news-poll-twice-as-many-favor-more-guns-over-banning-guns-to-reduce-violent/

just saw on front page of google news.

some positive stats for those too lazy to read:

Overall, voters are about twice as likely to say there would be less violent crime in the U.S. if more law-abiding people had guns, than if guns were banned (58 percent to 28 percent).

Meanwhile, by an extremely wide 50-point margin, voters think gun permit holders have the right to keep that information private.

A 56-percent majority of voters have a favorable opinion of the NRA, up significantly from 43 percent in March 2000. The number having a positive opinion of the group roughly matches the number of voters who have a gun in their home.

If guns were outlawed, nearly two-thirds of gun-owners say they would defy the government and keep their guns (65 percent).

nice to have some evidence of hope in these tough times

People's opinions will never dictate where my constitutional rights end.

Opinion polls DO NOT override the bill of rights, even if they were against us!

Maybe there is some hope for this country

In a legal, and ideal, sense you would be correct. Unfortunately our republic has ceased to function as a republic.

While the poll results are encouraging I don't trust any news organization no matter how fair and balanced they claim to be. Look what they were projecting for the election. Hope is good, but we know how things go these days.

fox tends to drift their reports to the right while cnn and msnbc swing to the left.
