Ooooh I would call 70% most wouldn't you? https://www.businessinsider.com.au/assault-weapons-ban-poll-gun-reform-2018-2?r=US&IR=T Way to go. Just keep using these big bad weapons to shoot kids and eventually they will be banned
All semiautomatic weapons aren't "assault weapons". In 20 years, we've had a total of 36 kids killed in mass shootings at school with an "assault weapon".
There is no such thing as an "Assault Weapon". That was a name created by the anti-gun nuts in the early 90's to label any gun they don't like. So, the poll is meaningless since there is no such thing as an "Assault Weapon".

Yet another article hidden behind a pay wall that makes it inaccessible to those that wish to actually review the information contained within.
...And this post demonstrates just how utterly bereft of integrity the gun control movement is. They will say literally anything, the facts be damned, if it helps them push their agenda.
Even when the truth is right in front of them gun apologists insist on burying their heads in the sand and continuing in their delusions.
The site is never blocked for me and I don't pay anything to read their articles. Here is another article with similar information. Read it and weep: "A Qunnipiac University poll released Tuesday showed American voters support a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons 67 – 29 percent. A Pew Research Center poll last year had support at 68 percent. A 2016 Morning Consult-New York Times poll showed 63 percent of registered voters supported 'banning the sale and ownership of all semi-automatic and automatic firearms.' " http://www.tampabay.com/florida-pol...-he-says-idea-is-well-outside-the-mainstream/
And most of those Americans that support banning all semi-auto firearms, have no idea what they are actually supporting.......
Even if such is indeed factually accurate, it is of no relevance. Constitutional rights are not subject to popular opinion and majority mob rule. Heller, McDonald, and Caetano have changed the legal landscape, and the old approach to doing things can never be gone back to. Even if the public wants certain legal firearms to be made prohibited from ownership, it still cannot legally be done because the second amendment forbids such an approach from being carried out. The public cannot utilize one aspect of the united states constitution for restricting another aspect of the united states constitution.
An estimated half a million people are participating in a March For Our Lives demonstration in Washington, D.C. today. Many people in other cities are having their own demonstrations against gun violence. Will Congress listen? https://www.yahoo.com/news/scenes-march-lives-rallies-around-slideshow-wp-142611024.html
You mean the Republican majority Congress whose constituents support the 2nd Amendment? What do you think? Does the number of people marching change the Constitutional protections of the 2nd Amendment?
Listen to what exactly? What is the legitimate message that these individuals have to present? They are nothing more than screaming, incoherent, emotionally immature individuals who amount to little more than a raw nerve, who have on idea what they want, all driven by the fact that law enforcement refused to arrest a known problematic, violent individual. These individuals are not actually protesting, they are merely throwing a temper tantrum at being forced to realize the real world does not work the way they think it does, and they cannot accept the fact that they are wrong about reality.
Actually we are. After this latest left wing tirade sales of AR's and high capacity magazines will go through the roof once again, making a ban impossible.
Not only that, people are learning to manufacture all types of firearms, more than ever. The AR type rifle is currently the most popular firearm in the U.S.A. 30 years ago, it was talked about in other Countries.
Just think, the little snowflakes and their handlers have no idea that they're now the biggest gun salesmen since Obama.
Giggle, oh so true ! Gotta love the no gun Pollyanna, never any guns in the home etc... I enjoyed guns at age 10, the technical accuracy of a .22 LR, hunting fowl with a 20 gage, a fine Revolver, I practiced Safe gun handling always.
Total nostalgia. I still like the smell of Hoppe's #9 and gun oil. In the salt marsh we hunted waterfowl in, the shotguns always had to be well oiled. I learned to use gun grease on them.
I loved the fit and balance of the finer English and Spanish custom made SxS shotguns made in old fashiioned ways by old fashioned craftsmen, not the newer monstrosities churned out by Ruger etc....
