4 in 10 Republicans think mass shootings are 'unfortunately something we have to accept as part of a free society': CBS/YouGov poll

Any pukes on this board think we should just accept mass shootings as just a fact of life in this country?!!


  • Some 44% of Republicans say mass shootings are "something we have to accept as part of a free society," a poll found.
  • ​
  • The poll found that a majority of Democrats and Independents said shootings are preventable "if we really tried."
  • ​
  • The survey comes after a string of mass shootings have again prompted Congress to assess gun control.
More than 4 in 10 Republicans think mass shootings are inevitable in a "free society," according to a new poll by CBS News and YouGov.

The survey results came on the heels of a string of mass shootings across the country that have prompted Congress to once again consider legislation on gun control.

One of the questions in the poll asked respondents if they feel that mass shootings are "unfortunately something we have to accept as part of a free society" or "something we can prevent and stop if we really tried."

In response, 44% of Republicans said mass shootings are inevitable "as part of a free society." Meanwhile, 85% of Democrats and 73% of Independents said mass shootings are preventable "if we really tried."

The survey had a sample size of 2,021 US adults that were interviewed between June 1 and June 3, per CBS News, which noted the margin of error is ±2.6 points.

Following the shooting in Uvalde, President Joe Biden insisted that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is a "rational Republican" who could agree to gun control measures, despite the party's longtime refusal to seriously entertain policy changes on firearms.

McConnell signaled his willingness for Republican senators to work with Democrats on a bipartisan push for gun safety legislation, but he did not endorse any specific proposals. The Minority Leader said he had "encouraged" Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, to talk to key Democrats "who are interested in trying to get an outcome that's directly related to the problem."

I am finding the inclusion of the word unfortunately interesting, as I remember that it is now routine for polsters to rig the results by the wording of questions.

Good one, kunny. Silly and dishonest as they are, I do get a kick out of your kartoons.

Of course everyone knows that stunted degenerates like you would be perfectly fine if armed gangs ruled our streets. You just can't stand the thought of law abiding citizens defending themselves and the constitution.

There are laws against murder. Does not seem to work.

there are laws that would have prevented most all the mass shooters from buying weapons in the first place.
but they were not followed and those who failed to fulfill their duty were not prosecuted.

start enforcing those laws and see what happens.

wont stop everything as there is always the black market for weapons but the cost and risk rise dramatically.
