Zogby/O'Leary Report Poll Finds Majority of American Voters Don't
Fault U.S. Gun Laws for Mexican Drug Violence
WASHINGTON, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder
has stated that the Obama administration would like to resurrect the
Clinton ban on semi-automatic firearms, as well as other gun control
laws.
One of the reasons for bringing back these unpopular laws, according
to Holder, is that Mexican drug cartels are becoming increasingly
violent and warring with Mexican government troops. Holder says that
some of the guns being used by the Mexican drug mafia are being
obtained illegally from the United States.
Mexico is a country with a reputation for political corruption and a
healthy disregard for the individual rights of its citizens. Still,
Holder and the Obama administration think that limiting the Second
Amendment rights of U.S. citizens is a cure for drug violence in
Mexico.
However, according to a recent poll conducted by The O'Leary Report
and Zogby International, a vast majority of the American voting public
disagrees.
The poll, which was conducted March 20-23 and has a margin of error of
plus-or-minus 1.5 percentage points, asked 4,523 likely voters:
"Mexican officials, gun control groups and officials at the Department
of Homeland Security claim drug cartels are crossing the U.S. border
in order to obtain guns illicitly. Others say that the Mexican drug
cartels are equipped with military hardware including grenades,
anti-tank missiles and mortars - all weapons that are not available to
the American public. Which of the following do you think is the main
source for Mexican drug cartel arms?"
Sixty-five percent of voters say that the international black market
is the main source for Mexican drug cartel arms; while only 13.5
percent think these arms are coming from U.S. gun stores (3.5 percent
think the arms are coming from somewhere else and 18 percent are not
sure).
Among voters aged 18-29 years old, one of President Obama's strongest
groups of supporters, 73 percent say international black market, and
just six percent say U.S. gun stores (two percent say somewhere else
and 19 percent are not sure).
A strong majority of self-described Independent voters (66 percent)
also say that the international black market is main source of arms
for Mexican drug cartels, and only 12 percent say U.S. gun stores
(four percent say somewhere else and 19 percent are not sure).
