Most Americans support tough new measures to combat gun violence, including a ban on assault weapons and posting armed guards at every school, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

More than half of all Americans â€” 52 percent in the new poll â€” say the Newtown shootings made them more supportive of gun control; just 5 percent say they are now less apt to back tighter restrictions. Most also are at least somewhat worried about a mass shooting in their own community, with concern jumping to 65 percent among those with school-age children at home.

The findings, which also show broad bipartisan support for requiring mandatory background checks for buyers at gun shows, come as President Obama said Monday he will lay out specific White House proposals on gun control legislation and executive actions this week.

gdad, what do your posts ever have anything to do with? From what I gather, you’re a cool guy with some neat experiences. You’re really selling yourself short by trolling around here anonymously. You’ve admitted that you are afraid to identify yourself while nearly simultaneously telling me that I’m afraid because I carry.

Why don’t you step forward as yourself and contribute more than snarky one-liners about Suzie, people who carry, and pooping in Elmwood Park.

“Says another anonymous bomb thrower….”

And that has what to do with to do with your use of idiotic and telling insults like “pantwaist,” John W?

Why, nothing.

“74.Look, John W is such a manly guy. How do we know? He used the insult “pantywaist.” And he carries lots of guns.”

#67, I will at least engage in dialogue with other real people no matter how different their views. I do not care, and should not be expected to care, about the opinions of cowardly, anonymous blog entities started by pantywaists who drew the short stick in life. Could such a guy exist?

Jack, nowhere that I saw does the DC AG say that “no federal agency told them otherwise” as you claim. In fact, the letter acknowledges the possibility that conflicting advice was given; it just doesn’t concede ground on the jurisdictional question. Comment by Warren — January 12, 2013 @ 10:43 pm From the last page on the second paragraph: Although there appears to have been some misinformation provided initially, NBC was clearly and timely advised by an MPD employee that its plans to exhibit on the broadcast a high capacity-magazine would violate D.C. law, and there was no contrary advice from any federal official.

Give Lutz’s word games, I wouldn’t trust Lutz even if he published a poll that supported my position.

As always, YMMV.
