Poll: 2/3 of Americans Would Defy Federal Gun Ban

By Clash Daily / 26 January 2013 / 19 comments

Screen Shot 2013-01-26 at 10.31.01 AM An interesting little factoid has emerged from a new Fox News poll of U.S. voters: Personal sentiments are strong and defiant among many U.S. gun owners.

Question 46 in the wide-ranging survey of more than 1,000 registered voters asks if there is a gun in the household. Overall, 52 percent of the respondents said yes, someone in their home owned a gun. That number included 65 percent of Republicans, 59 percent of conservatives, 38 percent of Democrats and 41 percent of liberals.

But on to Question 47, addressed to those with a gun in their home: “If the government passed a law to take your guns, would you give up your guns or defy the law and keep your guns?”

The response: 65 percent reported they would “defy the law.” That incudes 70 percent of Republicans, 68 percent of conservatives, 52 percent of Democrats and 59 percent of liberals.

We will give up our guns when they pry them from our cold, dead, fingers.

They can have my gun after I empty it…in their general vicinity.

You may include me among those who will defy the law. I am a Conservative Republican who believes strongly in the founding principles of this country. Seven times I have taken the oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic. I have adhered faithfully to those oaths and will continue to so so for the rest of my life.

As was stated by our Founding Fathers after winning the Revolutionary War and Declaring Independence, the Leaders entrusted with forming the Constitution and Bill of Rights realized as with all of the Rights, that The Right to Keep and bear Arms is a God given right ensured by the Constitution’s Second Amendment and Bill of Rights ! As proof we use the recent defeat in those days of the British Army and Navy, the most powerful in the world at that time, a feat which only with the help of God could have been accomplished ! The same holds true today and James Madison along with Thomas Jefferson realized that at some future time a zealot or group may try to, through tyranny collapse our Republic made sure the Second amendment with the others was to be protected and not changed in any way, without a majority of citizens approving such an act ! They may come but won’t be allowed to take our Weapons when we start using the Constitution to defeat this move and our own use of Force as a deterrent to such action !

There are a lot of people not telling the truth as to not enlighten the government of their true status. Unlike the Blue and Grey of the Civil war, this war will be against the rights of the people and those that don’t understand the Constitution. I had a long hard talk with my son who’s in the Navy. He knows very well that if he takes up arms against the American people to disarm them, I wish the other guy has a better and quicker aim. I would also feel ashamed of his actions. It’s up to him to decide what is right. I believe I raised him right.

That alone should tell the usurper in chief to cease all attemps to take our guns away.

…2/3rds? Not enough. Not massive enough. Not scary enough. 3/4ths? Maybe.
Hirohito and Khrushchev both came to the realization that, if they did not capitulate, their lands, their cultures, and their people would be obliterated. Gone! This is what it takes. Try 4/5ths. 9/10ths would be better. 2/3rds? Good luck!

if you did not vote this is your fault

So let me get this right.
52 percent of Democrats and 59 percent of liberals would defy this order? Then what gives? How did all of this crap come about if the Dems and Libs arent for it either.Something sure does smell fishy and it sure aint Mrs.Obama

I came into this world covered in blood and screaming, i’m not afraid to leave it the same way

Because the other 1/3 were afraid to tell the truth

Tell the anti gun crowd that

~300 Million Americans did NOT shoot anyone.

STOP PUNISHING THE INNOCENT for the acts of a few.

STOP IT
STOP IT NOW

If a second Civil War is what they are after,trying to disarm the American people will surely achieve their goal. We will never fall to tyranny without a fight,too much has been lost as it is. I vow to fight until my last breath,well armed and well studied in guerilla tactics,and ready to go today,should it be necessary.

We have a moral responsibility to take a stand. Our forefathers did it for us and we need to do it for future generations lest they curse us for our failure of will.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
