A new survey conducted by the National Rifle Association finds that—surprise!—NRA
members really, really like the NRA and its policies. More
specifically, it found that 98 percent have a favorable view of the
gun-rights organization and its absolutist
stance. On the flip side, 93 percent have an unfavorable view of
President Barack Obama; New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg squeaks by with
an 80 percent disapproval rating. Moreover, the NRA finds its members
overwhelmingly reject gun-control measures that nobody in Washington is
seriously proposing.
Beyond the Saddam-like approval ratings, the survey of 1,000 NRA
(PDF) members shows that the vast majority "are united in their desire
for Washington to focus on keeping firearms from the mentally ill and to
reject unconstitutional gun control measures that infringe on Second
Amendment rights." More than 90 percent support keeping firearms away
from the mentally ill, 89 percent oppose an assault-rifle ban,
83 percent oppose a ban on high-capacity clips, and 82 percent back the
NRA's proposal to put "armed security professionals" in every public
school.
