Record Number of Voters Support Gun Rights

October 27th, 2011 by flanews

Support for the Second Amendment of the US Constitution is at a 50 year high. A Gallop poll released earlier this week shows 73 percent of US voters think government should not ban handguns. Just 26 percent of people polled support a ban. Former NRA president Marion Hammer says support for the second amendment has been growing because people are becoming more informed about the constitution and the government.

“They know that law-abiding people aren’t going to commit crimes and so just stop these silly gun control laws. I think that’s what it’s really about,” said Hammer.

The first time Gallup polled a ban on handguns was in 1959, at that time 60 percent of people favored a ban.
