Most Republicans

Most Republicans
would support legislation banning assault-style weapons, a new POLITICO/Morning
Consult poll found Wednesday — a finding that contradicts trump's claim earlier
the same day that there's "no political appetite" for such restrictions.
The poll found that
nearly 70 percent of all voters would back such a ban.
Support for an
assault-weapons ban was higher, at 86 percent, among Democrats, who have been
pushing for new restrictions on the firearms in the wake of two mass shootings
over the weekend.
Republicans
typically are more reticent to support new gun restrictions, and
trump campaigned in
2016 on his strong support for the Second Amendment.
But the poll found
that 55 percent of GOP voters were comfortable with banning assault weapons,
and 54 percent said they would support stricter gun laws more generally.
Ninety percent said
they would back universal background checks for gun sales.
Bottom-Line!
Moscow Mitch let the
senate vote!
