Conservative Culture

I really don’t see this as great news either. The state sponsored school system has only help to diminish a proper understanding of the Constitution. Parents also have handed over teaching of the Constitution to the mainstream media. Consider all this perhaps it could be much worse. But then again what difference should it make if on 5% support it or 95% support it? The Constitutional Rights protect those rights regardless of popular opinion and attempts to remove them.

Good news but not great news, for reasons you’ll shortly see. Which way’s the trend moving? Gallup doesn’t offer historical data to compare and it’s hard to tell from other pollsters, whose surveys on this issue tend to stick to questions about whether gun laws should be made stricter or not. CNN did poll the “individual right vs. militia right” question a few months ago, though, and found 65 percent support at the time, 72 percent among men and 58 percent among women. The margin of error there, as in the Gallup poll, was three percent, so there may well be a trend in the right direction here spurred by worries that the Court’s going to grab America’s guns this summer.
