The Second Amendment & The NRA

The events of September 11th appear to have strengthened support for Second Amendment Freedoms. Fifty-six percent of Americans feel the National Rifle Association speaks for them at least some of the time. Fifty-one percent of Americans also said they own a gun or plan to own a gun which parallels the findings in other recent surveys.

The Zogby/Associated Television News survey also found that 66% of Americans agreed with the right to carry a firearm on their person or in their car for protection provided they passed a background check and had a safety course.

Q. Please tell me if the National Rifle Association speaks for you all of the time, most of the time, some of the time, or never?


All of the time 12%
Most of the time 14% ------------ > 56% at least some of the time
