text: record numbers say no to proposed handgun ban 
  steve   
  a new poll released by gallup has found that a record amount of americans are opposed to gun control measures  
  the survey found that  percent of respondents over three quarters believe that a ban on civilian ownership of handguns should not be made law 
  the findings represent a fourpoint increase on the same survey from last year in addition to an alltime high for the past three decades 
  the poll also found that almost two thirds  percent are against a ban on semiautomatic rifles or assault weaponsas the corporate media refers to them 
  that figure represents a full tenpoint increase on previous findings and is an all time record high since polling began on the issue  years ago 
  just  percent less than a third say they support a ban on handgun ownership while only  percent support a semiautomatic ban an eightpoint decline on previous findings 
  in addition gun sales have been hitting record highs for months on end 
  in a summary of the new poll gallup seemed surprised by the findings describing waning support for a gun ban as a paradox 
  perhaps paradoxically opposition toward a ban has increased against a backdrop of multiple mass shootings and terrorist attacks in which the perpetrators used assault rifles these guns were used in highprofile incidents including the terrorist attacks in san bernardino california and orlando and the mass shootings in aurora colorado and newtown connecticut 
  the findings reveal just how out of step hillary clintons position on gun control is with the majority of americans 
  hillary is a staunch gun control proponent wikileaks releases have revealed that hillary plans to implement strict gun control measures by executive order 
  clinton purportedly plans to open gun manufacturers to lawsuits by crime victims a move that critics say would do nothing to reduce crime but would bankruptand eventually endgun manufacturing in the united states this article was posted thursday october   at  am share this article
