I am a 2nd amendment advocate and i agree with this. I don't think "unauthorized" people should have guns and most agree. Unauthorized means Convicted Felons, the Mentally Unstable and every other group currently listed as Unauthorized to have a hand gun.

The survey wording on this is misleading. If you look at the rest of the survey the truth comes out but who wants to get a little truth in the way of a good thread right? The differentiators on the Assault Gun shows a great image. Is that to mean that more people are ok with Assault Rifles than handguns?

Also below many say the gun laws are fine but need better enforcement. If you want to give up your handguns I commend you and wish you well. You have that right much like I have the right to defend my home and my family.

As well as what Rochard said about gun ownership being at an all time high so is the right to carry in most states. For the first time ever, 49 states have the right to carry with only Illinois withstanding. Ironically, gun control has worked well for Illinois where Chicago is among the leaders in Hand Gun Murders. (15th in the country of all cities over 100,000 in population)
