Survey: Americans Won’t Give Up Guns

In a Fox News survey, two-thirds of Americans said they would “defy” a federal gun ban and keep their guns if the government ever passed a law to “take your guns.”

The survey asked respondents, “If the government passed a law to take your guns, would you give up your guns or defy the law and keep your guns?”

Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they would “defy the law.” Specifically, 70% of Republicans, 68% of conservatives, 52% of Democrats, and 59% of liberals said they would “defy” a federal gun ban to keep their guns.

The poll surveyed 1,008 registered U.S. voters between Jan. 15-17.

Survey Finds NRA Members United

FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action conducted a national scientific poll of its members and found near unanimity among NRA members on a wide range of issues involving mental health reform and firearm rights.

Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show

National Shooting Sports Foundation Statement on the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show

 

We have just learned that Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

In  the days following Reed Exhibitions’ announcement that modern sporting  rifles would be prohibited from the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, the  leadership of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has been  in intense, frank discussions with Reed Exhibitions management in an  effort to reverse this unacceptable decision. These discussions reached  an impasse.

NSSF  is in no way affiliated with, nor does it participate in or exhibit at  this show in any way. Reed Exhibitions does, however, manage the  NSSF-owned SHOT Show (though Reed manages the SHOT Show, all SHOT Show  decisions, policies and actions are made at NSSF’s direction).

Because of Reed’s recent actions, NSSF is considering all options regarding the management of future SHOT Shows.

A Lansing Michgian State Representative, Andy Schor (Democrat, go figure) is pushing a measure to stop open carry of firearms.  On the other side is Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (MCRGO), attorney Steve Dulan:  “I call this type of legislation the  creation of mass murderer empowerment zones,” Dulan said. “When you  establish, in law, a place where law-abiding citizens are not allowed to bring weapons for self defense, you are creating a magnet for these  mass killers.”  More here…
