The poll asked if citizens support a total ban on private firearms, with exceptions just for police/hunters/sport shooters and certain other professions that require guns.

74% support a complete private ban
21% are opposed (I belong to this small minority)

76% of women and 71% of men.

77% of young people under 30 - and 69% of middle-aged people - and 78% of old people over 60.

81% of higher-educated people and 70% of lower-educated people.

Not surprised to learn that the citizens of the land of Hitler’s birth wants to take away people’s right to defend themselves from a tyrannical government.

Thank god we have our Second Amendment so that the Leftists here can’t strip away such a fundamental right of the people!
