A recent Zogby/Associated Television News poll found 66% of American voters agree with the statement, "There are enough laws on the books. What is needed is better enforcement of current laws regarding gun control."
While that is not bad news, I'd have preferred to see a question more along the lines of, "There are enough laws on the books. What is needed is better enforcement of current laws regarding criminals who use guns for crime."
This is the telling quote from this press release.
"A majority of voter who support enforcement of gun laws already on the books exists virtually across all demographic groups and in all regions of the country with the only exception being Asian and liberal voters." (emphasis mine)
Now, I know there are some liberals out there who have the same opinion of the 2nd Amendment as I, but they are few and far between. Only 31% of respondents think new and/or tougher gun control laws are necessary to disarm the public. Three out of 10 Americans don't trust their fellow citizens. That's sad.
