1. and a majority

Think it will do nothing.

[randys1]

2. YOu might not like the end result of what you are saying. I think most of what he can do

is too little, myself.

I think what must be done is way way more.

You wont like what I think has to be done.

[Kingofalldems]

3. So you are for it?

If not, what's your plan?

[Duckhunter935]

4. I have no problem with it

Open NICS for private sales is a simple one.

[passiveporcupine]

8. You sure about that?

[Duckhunter935]

10. yes read the poll

6 in 10 do not think the presidents actions will be effective

[passiveporcupine]

11. Since when have the American people been correct on everything?

I don't believe in polls, unless they are consistent over time, and this hasn't been polled enough. I think the fact that most Americans want changes to the system that approves gun buying and ownership (not just this poll), just shows that things are moving in the right direction.

Does that scare you?

[Duckhunter935]

12. nope, always been for UBC

heavily enforcing existing laws and fully funding the ATF

[passiveporcupine]

13. But no new laws?

We can agree on enforcing existing laws, but they really are not enough.

[Duckhunter935]

15. so what new laws are you wanting?

[passiveporcupine]

16. How about some of what Obama just talked about

Or did you not listen to his address?

[Duckhunter935]

19. I just heard on the town hall he has not

Added any new laws. So you do not want any?

[passiveporcupine]

21. So, I guess you did not listen to his address.

Why am I not surprised?

[Duckhunter935]

24. I was working but do tell me what laws

I am sure you can tell me. I just watched the town hall where he stated he did not make any new laws

[passiveporcupine]

28. It wasn't about new laws per se

I didn't get to watch it live, but I watched it later on the internet, as could you if you were the least bit interested. But if you are not interested enough to listen to his address, far be if from me to presume to inform you.

[Duckhunter935]

30. I read the actual document

Thank you for agreeing with my statement. I knew I was correct. Have a great day.

[aikoaiko]

31. Psst. The President didn't propose any new laws in his EOs.

Really.


He didn't even close the so called gun show loop hole. Didn't even narrow it.

5. K&R. Great news!

Thank you for posting it.

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. K&R!

[madokie]

7. I was just in the living room while the local news was on

and they said that, whatever poll they were reporting on, it was 51 percent against and 49 percent for. I started to email the tv station and give them a piece of my mind on this because I've not read a poll that the numbers were like the reported they gave.

[pinboy3niner]

14. That was just for Republicans polled

Independents were for it and Democrats were overwhelmingly for it.

[madokie]

17. Obviously

They don't even try to hide their racism. I really thought we were past most of the racism until Obama won the nomination and the racist started coming out of the wood work. It really pisses me off too but there's nothing I can do about it except laugh at their stinking asses when he feed the shit right back to them

[okasha]

9. Thank you, Mr. President.

[pinboy3niner]

18. I believe that result supported the President's reforms, but respondents OPPOSED doing it by EO

They were two different questions with two different results. That's what I heard when CNN broke down the detailed poll results.

[Duckhunter935]

20. very true, thanks

[JI7]

25. i wonder what the results would be if "to stop terrorists" was added

probably more supportive.

[LonePirate]

26. Bingo! Anybody who is opposed to these actions is obviously soft on terrorists/terrorism.

The left needs to start playing the language game to help move the needle.

[Jack Rabbit]

22. I'm surprised it isn't more than that.

[SunSeeker]

23. K & R

[spanone]

27. K&R...

[lancer78]

29. The only poll that matters

is the one on election day. Hopefully this won't hurt the Dem nominee and/or other Dem candidates.
