The Second Amendment Foundation has just released the results of a national survey it commissioned, which reveals that a majority of American voters believe that incoming President Donald Trump and a Republican majority in Congress will better protect Second Amendment rights than Democrats.
The same poll, conducted by the internationally-recognized firm of McLaughlin & Associates beginning on Dec. 11, also says 76 percent of voters believe it is important to appoint judges to the federal courts who will “make it a priority to strictly follow the Second Amendment.” Only 15 percent say it is not important at all.
“The McLaughlin poll asked five pertinent questions about gun rights,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “and the results affirm what we’ve known all along. Trump’s return to the White House in January, coupled with GOP control on Capitol Hill, bodes well for rights which the current administration has tried to trample for the past four years.”
“Americans continue to cherish their Second Amendment Rights as the results of our recent national survey clearly show,” said Jim McLaughlin, CEO of the famous polling firm. “Overwhelming majorities of voters want their political leaders in Washington to defend Second Amendment rights (77%). Furthermore, three out of four voters (76%) say it is important to nominate and confirm judges to the federal courts who will make it a priority to strictly follow the Second Amendment and nearly two-in-three voters (63%) think President Donald Trump will make it a priority to protect and defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners. It is safe to say that Americans are clearly excited about the results of the November elections and the rights of gun owners remain very important to voters.”
“This survey underscores the prevailing public perception that Democrats have become the ‘party of gun prohibition’,” Gottlieb stated. “The numbers also justify SAF’s commitment to defend the Second Amendment in our various court challenges, winning firearms freedom one lawsuit at a time.”
