Most Americans disagree with him on guns. That’s bad news for the Brady Campaign too. Of course, it’s amazing how much a difference asking the right question could make. Let’s look:
| Question Asked | How Brady Would Have Asked |
| “Do you support or oppose legislation to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting?” | “Do you support or oppose legislation to ban armor piercing cop killer bullets that can shoot down airplanes and destroy armored vehicles?” |
| “Do you agree or disagree that you have the right to use deadly force as a means of self-defense in your home, without having to retreat?” | “Do you agree or disagree that guns in the home should be restricted to save the lives of children?” |
Americans answered 77% that they’d oppose a ban on most hunting and sporting ammunition, which is to say most ammunition. 88% of Americans believe they have a right to use deadly force in home defense without having to retreat. Sorry Obama and Brady folks, most Americans just don’t agree with you when you ask the question the right way.
I’m worried that the moderators of these upcoming debates between the candidates will do everything that they can to spin the gun issue and the questions so that Obama looks like he is not the gun-hater that he truly is.
Or worse. Spin it so that anything other than anti gun, will come off as *extremist*, more so than the spin now implies.
