bingie.. the poll was just how many homes had guns in em.. that was 42% are you saying that it is not enough? all polls say that all people... no matter if they own (or admit they own) guns believe overwhelmingly that the second is an individual right.
also.. I can see that you are desperately googling around to try to find agreement with a position that you obviously have not given much thought to till now.. you should have read a bit farther into the article you quoted (while pretending you wrote it).
"According to a 2003 Gallup/NCC poll, most Americans believe that the Second Amendment protects individual firearm ownership. Points in their favor:
* A clear majority of the Founding Fathers unquestionably believed in a universal right to bear arms.
* The last time the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the civilian militia interpretation of the Second Amendment was 1939--almost 70 years ago, at a time when policies enforcing racial segregation, banning birth control, and mandating recital of the Lord's Prayer in public schools were also considered constitutional.
* The Constitution is a document, not a piece of software. Regardless of why the Second Amendment justifies its own existence, the fact remains that it still exists as part of the Constitution.
* The Eighteenth Amendment established Prohibition; the Twenty-First Amendment overturned it. The American people have the means, through the legislative process, to overturn the Second Amendment if it is no longer considered worthwhile. If it's obsolete, why hasn't this happened?
* The Constitution aside, bearing arms is a fundamental human right. It is the only means the American people have to reclaim control of their government, should it one day become irredeemably corrupt.
The Gallup/NCC poll also found that of the 68% of respondents who believed that the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms, 82% still believe that the government can regulate firearm ownership to at least some extent. Only 12% believe that the Second Amendment prevents the government from restricting ownership of firearms."
really.. the people who wish to trash individual rights have no leg to stand on.
If the constitution is interpreted as people think it means and the way the founders intended...
Your view is just some far left mental masterbation and justification for removal of individual rights.
