A new poll by McLaughlin & Associates suggests that a large majority, in fact 3/4s, want federal judges who are in favor of our right to bear arms.
The poll asked if respondents thought it was important to have pro-Second Amendment judges nominated to the federal bench: “How important is it to you to get judges confirmed and nominated to the federal courts who make it a priority to try their best to strictly follow the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution?”
A whopping 76 percent agreed that it is “important.”
Another 77 percent said it was important that politicians also support the Second Amendment.
“Overwhelming majorities of voters want their political leaders in Washington to defend Second Amendment rights (77%),” pollster Jim McLaughlin said. “Furthermore, three out of four voters (76%) say it is important to nominate and confirm judges to the federal courts who will make it a priority to strictly follow the Second Amendment and nearly two-in-three voters (63%) think President Donald Trump will make it a priority to protect and defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners.”
Respondents also felt that Republicans (59 percent) did a better job protecting the Second Amendment than Democrats (24 percent).
