That whole press announcement...stalling the FBI in Boston by the way with their presser...so he could cry and scold in the look down his nose manner that this POS always displays was despicable. Their grief is real and will be for the rest of their lives because a crazed lunatic allowed her insane son access and bonding time to her cache of weapons. She was the 1st victim that day by the way. The Kenyan King and Joey weeping? That was for the cameras. Maybe it's because they think America is finally on to them and the jig is up. We have enough laws on the books Federally and State by State on guns. We don't even enforce them!

Mr. President drop your own armed details, those for your families if you want to set some sort of precedence. Make everyone in your administration do the same but lead by example. Same for Mayor Bloomberg and any other political hack that wants to take, take and take. Show America how safe you are by doing that and perhaps your flawed legislation would have a chance to pass. Don't take some photo moment to go shotgun shooting...don't send Joey out and tell America to "Buy a shotgun...Buy a shotgun!" and Gabbie Gifford's AR-15 stockpiling hubby... while you're trying to pass some flim flam on her...jus' sayin' B.

Why don't you really do something America wants? Start there. To date you haven't done a damn thing useful or purposeful FOR America. It's been for some agenda. An agenda didn't elect you. It motivated some of the zombies to, but let's see the forest for the trees while we're at it.

Gallup: Only 4% of Americans Think Gun Control is an Important Problem

Only 4 percent of Americans think guns and gun control are an important problem facing the country, according to Gallup, and far more Americans are concerned about the economy, unemployment and the federal debt.

In its poll from Apr. 4-7, Gallup surveyed 1,005 adults by telephone and asked, “What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?”

Respondents answered in the following order:

Economy in general - 24%

Unemployment/Jobs - 18%

Dissatisfaction with Government - 16%

Federal budget deficit/Federal debt - 11%

Healthcare - 6%

Ethical/Moral/Family decline - 5%

Immigration/Illegal aliens - 4%

Education - 4%

Guns/Gun control - 4%

Situation with North Korea - 4%

Lack of Money - 3%

Welfare - 2%

Lack of respect for each other - 2%

Poverty/Hunger/Homelessness - 2%

Foreign aid/Focus overseas - 2%

Taxes - 2%

Despite the Obama administration’s strong push for more gun control legislation, few Americans are concerned about the issue.

As Gallup reports, “Few Americans mention guns or immigration as the most important problems facing the nation today, despite the current attention lawmakers in Washington are giving to these issues. The economy still dominates as the top concern, followed by jobs and dissatisfaction with the general way in which Congress and the government work.”

These data “underscore the prominence of economic issues in Americans’ minds,” said Gallup.

Personally, I think the Kenyan King will go on another vacation of epic proportions that most Americans won't ever be able to even fathom before he does a damn thing to help the economy.

There was some sort of statistical error in that survey.

He also said unemployment would be 5% now too!

In the fine print it said margin of error = +-3%

Oh, well then...I feel much better. So does America.

I feel sticky.........

Oh?

CAN HAZ MINOTAURS???

So...why is the current clowncar willing to expend so much political capital on a DOA issue?

BECAUSE HE'S NOT DOING A DAMN THING FOR AMERICA!

I don't think anyone ever wanted too give up their guns... Obama just tried to convince everyone they did....

he lied and stuff.... 😟

Let me be clear beforehand that I am not taking a stance one way or another on this issue.

The way CNSNews presented the information is misleading. The question Gallup asked in the survey DMV cited is “What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?” (The added emphasis is mine).

This does not mean:

It means that 4% of Americans think gun control is the most important problem.

Although I must say that I'm very sympathetic to DMV's position on how the Sandy Hook victim's families were trotted out for show. Emotional appeals...sigh.

@DrafterX:

You're referring to a different poll. The question it asked was as to whether or not people supported background checks.

Neither statement attributed to Gallup are true. Gallup's web site clearly states (more than once) that "Few in U.S. See Guns, Immigration as Nation's Top Problems"

Nowhere does Gallup say (or even suggest) that few Americans think gun control is important. Not the single most important issue to most people, but survey results do not indicate that gun control (or any other issue beside economy) is unimportant.

Why do you bother to post here Fuzz?

Seriously.

Do we have to trot out a blue anal plug with a wig call it Teg and pass that around too?

4% is still 4% I don't care if a news organization used Gallup and their polls to make the point that this walking stool you support is pushing a wrong agenda.

The poll was one thing...the legislation was another. DUMBASS!

I don't support the President. I did not vote for him on either occasion.

I assure you, my ass is certainly not dumb...I can not assure you, however, about the critical thinking skills of a person who can't tell the substantive difference between two questions.

You're a complete idiot if you believe the internet is some anonymous island and you have shown that with your little grasp on it.

As for critical thinking...go play with your ass some more and try harder. Georgetown is where you need to be.

Were you the one doing self-discovery on their own ass to see if it was dumb? It sure sounded like it. Like I said before Fuzz, Georgetown is where you need to be.
