Preaching to the Choir

Actually, Pro 2A people are NOT outnumbered by anti 2A people. Every recent survey says that the vast majority supports the 2A. The media and the politically left don't, but the people do. The media WANTS it to appear that most people don't support it, but every survey runs counter to that. NBC ran a survey two years ago where 82% of respondents said that you should have the right to carry in public. They are running the EXACT same poll right now and the current number is 92% in favor. That's BEYOND a landslide!

Yes, it is beyond a landslide. Unfortunately, that poll is not being conducted in anything that even remotely resembles a scientific manner.

How could anyone possibly know if the results are actually representative of the public at large, or if it's a "false positive" resulting from large numbers of gun enthusiasts getting mobilized to go vote, like in one of arfcom's "Fire Missions"?



I still contend that most people (including most gun owners) are not truly pro-2A, and that can be demonstrated by the answers to the following questions.

Do you think that the general public should have unfettered access (no background checks, no government approval required) to buy or possess:

- Hand grenades?
- Claymore anti-personnel mines?
- Anti-tank mines?
- Recoilless rifles?
- Rocket launchers?
- Mortars?
- Artillery?
- Anti-tank guided missiles?
- Anti-aircraft guided missiles?
- Ballistic missiles?
- Nuclear weapons?
