New York Times run front page article proposing assault weapons ban, poll results not what they hoped for.

page 23
A New York Times poll released on Thursday found that a majority of Americans oppose a ban on “assault weapons” in the wake of a New York Times front page editorial championing the idea.
The poll, conducted among 1,275 adults between Dec. 4 and 8, found 50 percent of Americans now oppose a nationwide ban on “assault weapons” while 44 percent favor such a ban. The results represent the first time since the question began being asked in 1995 that more people oppose a ban than support it. Such a ban would outlaw the AR-15, the most popular rifle in the country, as well as other stylistically similar semi-automatic rifles.
A ban on such rifles, and their confiscation, was advocated for in a Dec. 4 editorial by the New York Times editorial board. “Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership,” the editorial said. “It is possible to define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens.”
The editorial was the first to be published on the front page of the paper since 1920. The 1920 New York Times editorial lamented the nomination for president of Warren G. Harding by the Republican Party and described it as “the gift of a splendid opportunity” for the Democratic Party. Harding went on to win the election capturing 37 of 48 states and 404 of 531 electoral votes.

America is ed and un able
It's not the AR-15 or other assault weapons that are bad it's the magazine capacity. I understand that feral hog invasions are worse than they've ever been and nothing beats an AR or similarly styled weapons for controlling that. But, I think magazine capacity maximum should be set at 10 rounds. I think that's a fair compromise.
That's exactly how people feel about muslims, tbh. Extremists on both sides need to shut the up.
Except for the small difference that Muslims are human.That's exactly how people feel about muslims, tbh. Extremists on both sides need to shut the up.

Why anyone would oppose Average White Band is beyond me.
typically false equivalence by you racists.That's exactly how people feel about muslims, tbh. Extremists on both sides need to shut the up.
All Muslims aren't killers, all guns exist to kill.
Americans ares such quivering chicken s, so gullible to fall for the NRA/gun industry/right-wing-hate-media propaganda, fear-mongering, "ISIS gonna kill us all".
A gun is an intimate object. It can't do anything by itself. Blaming a gun because of what a person does with it is stupid and illogical.
You want to talk about fear mongering? Check out how the liberal media is treating Trump. He's as much an extremist as obama, just opposite spectrum.
Trump, the other Repug Klown wannabes, Repugs at all levels, are, have been, a much bigger threat to Americans than all the Repug-created Muslim jihadists.
Honest question, is there anything you don't blame on "Repugs?"
what a re ed version of existentialism.
Repugs nominate themselves, self-select for my derision.
I've asked a few times for all the wonderful, positive stuff the Repugs have done since 1980, and Repug devotee TBcame up with ADA 25 years ago.
I invite you to tell us what positive stuff the Repugs have done since 1980.
Maybe this 50% realize that weapons are not a bad thing in the hands of law abiding citizens, and that criminals would get them anyway.
Speak for yourself. We are not all chicken s like you.
you would know. you said you wouldn't change our gun laws either
So unlimited nitrate fertilizer for all, right?
Yep, nothing will make any difference now.
Fear won.
Yep. If 20 dead elementary students won't do the trick with you, nothing will.
I came to my conclusion after nothing happened following Sandy Hook.
Let me know if you have trouble understanding that. I know simple concepts can be really difficult for you.
You didn't answer, boutons. I'm genuinely asking because every thread you post in you blame "repugs." I just want to know where you draw the line, tbh.Repugs nominate themselves, self-select for my derision.
