Will The New Gun Control Bill Do What
The Public Wants? — I&I/TIPP Poll

Posted By: RockyTCB, 6/27/2022 6:04:16 AM

President Joe Biden signed a sweeping gun control bill into law over the weekend that aims to prevent future massacres like the one that occurred in Uvalde, Texas, a month ago. The new law enhances background checks for young would-be gun buyers, encourages states to pass so-called “red flag” laws, and devotes some money to improving school security. The May 24 attack on a Uvalde elementary school that killed 19 students and two teachers created a wave of anger across America over gun violence in schools. Parents wondered not just about how a young deranged man could carry out such a horrendous crime,

it seems to me that all of the laws and money you can muster won’t stop any of this if the responding police don’t have enough steel in their backbone to kick in a door and take down these clowns........

While this WAS terrible. Why have they not ever been upset by the shootings each week in our big CITIES? Red flag laws will not help that but, then again, this was probably the start of trying to disarm the law abiding citizen. I am sure the red flag laws will NEVER be abused. S/O We have mass murderers BECAUSE of the dems. So the indoctrination the dems are teaching is working. Good job dems. Also note that school shooters are younger. And how many school shooters are known to local and fed police BEFORE the shooting and they do NOTHING to stop it. Amazing right? Dems preach hate and division and sex. Dems worship death. Dems tell kids that a woman can kill an unborn child BEFORE birth. Now CA, DE and MD want to ABORT a child up to 28 days AFTER birth. Then they STARVE the babies. Then in school they teach kids to hate each other and question their sexuality and showing them porn starting in daycare causing them to have mental issues and then they wonder why kids lose it. Then they blame others when bad stuff happens. It is NOT the gun. It is how dems and libs DESTROY our kids

Sending more taxpayer money to schools is an absolute waste. Money for security enhancements is a great idea only if the schools actually use the money for what it was designated. It is more likely they will give overpaid teachers raises and hire more diversity counselors than improving security. My High School of 1,200 students had a principal, an assistant principal, a secretary and a student counselor. That was the entire administrative staff. It worked great and the school spent their budget actually teaching subjects which were essential to having a successful life. Right now school systems are more interested in equity (d—- I hate that word) than teaching what is needed to be a happy productive citizen. I do not think this can be turned around. The teacher’s unions are too powerful. Our only and best hope is competition and school choice.

It all depends upon who you call "the public." Real American patriots will not be affected by anything passed by the democrats in response to the demands of liberal loons because they have the notion of self defense, gun rights and the Second Amendment wrong, every time. Some actions may encourage us to buy more guns and top off the ammo supply for that day when the gun grabbers start feeling frisky. God and the Constitution have always and will continue to be our guide.

It’s only a matter of time before this bill goes before the SCOTUS and they declare it unconstitutional.

Of course it won't work. That is not the point. The point is to "do something", that is make it a little harder for law abiding citizens to practice our 2nd amendment rights. When this step doesn't work, go on to the next one, etc. etc. Keep raising the temperature in the pot little by little so that the sheeple won't realize that the REAL goal is the de facto elimination of the 2nd amendment.

Be interesting to see whether "Red Flag Laws" pass Constitutional muster with the courts. If one can confiscate guns based on "fear", what other "red flag laws" can we create? My neighbor is a careless driver...

If the Democrats are ever able to get all modern semi-automatic rifles banned, the next step for the Democrats would be to ban all modern semi-automatic handguns, and then all semi-automatic shotguns. Resulting in all modern firearms being banned. Following that, the Democrats no doubt would seek to confiscate all modern firearms in private hands. After all that, law abiding citizens would no longer have access to modern firearms to defend themselves. But you can bet your boots that criminals and terrorists who do not obey laws would still be in possession of modern firearms able to murder law abiding Americans at will, as everyone knows that local police do not have any responsibility to defend private citizens from criminal attack.

As #8 points out, nearly all the rifles and shotguns owned by ordinary citizens are semi--automatic. "Semi-automatic" does not mean a machine gun or rapid-fire "assault weapon." The use of this term in the poll is either gross ignorance or camouflaged confiscationism. With that in mind, the poll results have to be interpreted with caution.

The 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion decision, it’s fair to say, is one of the most divisive in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. And the media have largely played up that divisiveness. But a new I&I/TIPP Poll shows that while Americans show deep splits over abortion, their opinions about the controversial medical procedure are far more nuanced than media accounts suggest. A new Supreme Court ruling on Roe is due any day now. Based on a leaked draft of an earlier version of that decision, it seems highly likely that Roe will be overturned. With this in mind, the I&I/TIPP Poll asked

The Clintons are back at the top of the news, claiming in recent separate interviews that we are at risk of “losing our democracy.” Of course we’re not a democracy, and shrieking about “losing” it is the Democrats’ cover for their campaign to achieve absolute and unchallenged political power in this country. And no one is more to blame for that than the Clintons. In an interview with talk show host James Corden, a hopelessly silly man who apparently fawns over every Democrat he talks to, Bill said he believes “there’s a fair chance that we could completely lose our constitutional democracy for a couple of decades

Today the Democratic House takes a strong step to bring down crucial kitchen table costs of the pump and grocery store and across the board.” That’s the transcript of what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor before all but five of her fellow Democrats voted for the “Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act” last week. Pelosi’s garbled syntax aside, the only thing this bill would lower is the public’s trust in anything Democrats say these days. Despite its title, this bill would expand government but do nothing – repeat, nothing – to lower prices today, tomorrow, or any time in the future.

If there’s a topic uppermost on most people’s minds today, it is certainly the surge in inflation over the past year. Soaring prices have affected virtually every person in the country. And Americans say they know who’s responsible: President Biden. Surprisingly, that includes more than half of all Democrats, too. May’s 8.6% annualized inflation rate, the highest in 40 years, shocked financial markets and alarmed consumers and workers alike. As we’ve been reminded over the years, inflation acts as a tax on everyone, lowering standards of living, raising costs across the board, and eroding the very foundations of a productive economy. And once entrenched, it’s very difficult to get rid of.

On day 487 in office, President Joe Biden set a new record. He has the lowest approval rating of all presidents at this point in their presidencies since Gallup started tracking this in 1945. According to Gallup’s Presidential Job Approval Center, just 41% approve of the job Biden is doing. That’s worse than Gerald Ford, or Lyndon Johnson, or even Jimmy Carter on day 487. Much worse than Ronald Reagan, the Bushes, Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama. To add insult to his injury, Biden’s approval rating is now lower than Trump’s was at this point in Trump’s first term. Biden’s oh-so-presidential response to his cratering support: he is “seething.”

Inflation in May hit 8.6%, the highest level since 1981, much higher than the expected 8.2% increase, and despite all the “expert” predictions that inflation had already peaked. Is it any wonder that nobody believes what the elites tell us anymore? President Joe Biden said on Friday that he “is going to continue to do everything we can to lower the prices for the American people.” Like what? By attacking oil companies and blaming Putin? If the experts were right, Biden wouldn’t have to do anything, because they were all exclaiming in April that inflation had peaked and would soon be heading downward.

Fewer than half of all Americans are convinced that the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Commission is making an honest attempt at discovering the truth about the mostly peaceful political demonstrations that took place on Capitol Hill that day, the latest data from the I&I/TIPP Poll show. Some 44% of Americans said they were either “very confident” (21%) in the committee’s investigation or “somewhat confident” (23%) that the Democrat-dominated Jan. 6 Commission “will make a genuine effort to uncover the truth.” The online poll of 1,310 adults was taken from June 8 to June 10. It has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.

It’s bad enough that someone in America could become so unhinged by nonstop far-left media propaganda that he’d try to kill a Supreme Court justice. But far worse is the blasé reaction by the Democratic Party and its extreme-left pro-abortion allies to the attempted murder of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Following his arrest in the early hours Wednesday, Nicholas John Roske told federal law enforcement officials that he intended to kill Kavanaugh. He was, he said, angry that the Supreme Court might soon overturn the Roe v. Wade abortion decision — which, by the way, would only mean that states,

In case you were too busy caring about things that actually matter to notice, the January 6th committee is back in session. That came after its members announced an “emergency” hearing for Tuesday, including the inclusion of a “surprise” witness. Now, you’d think going through such pomp and circumstance meant they came across some damning new evidence proving their assertion that Donald Trump organized an insurrection. But if you thought that, you thought wrong. Rather, Tuesday’s hearing was another ridiculous parade of absurdity, full of hearsay and no hard evidence of essentially anything. Yet, one claim by a woman named Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Mark Meadows aide, truly took the cake.

t just got easier to get into the Army. Now aspiring soldiers without graduations under their belts can still hang government-issued Sig Sauer M17s from them. Military.com reports that the U.S. Army is dropping its requirement for enlistees to possess either a high school diploma or GED certificate. This comes, per the outlet, amid an “escalating recruiting crisis.” On Thursday, the service announced that individuals may enlist without those previously required education certifications if they ship to basic training this fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1. To be clear, entrants still have to take a test: Recruits must also be at least 18 years old and otherwise qualify for a job in the active-duty Army.

He’s been a person of grievance for as long as I have known him,” Clinton said in an interview with Gayle King during an appearance on “CBS This Morning.” “Resentment, grievance, anger … women are going to die, Gayle. Women will die.” Thomas has been on the receiving end of sharp criticism from women’s rights groups and Democrats following the court’s blockbuster decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling granting abortion rights.
