It was necessary in 1776...... Poll shows 29 percent of voters think 'armed revolution' might be needed Published May 02, 2013 \| FoxNews.com advertisement We knew distrust of government was high. But a new poll shows that suspicion reaching new levels. According to a survey from Fairleigh Dickinson University, nearly a third of registered voters -- 29 percent -- believe an "armed revolution" might be necessary in the next few years in order to protect liberties. The poll from the university's PublicMind explored perceptions regarding Congress' latest gun control push as well as the Sandy Hook mass shooting. That legislative push, launched in the wake of the Connecticut shooting, fizzled last month after the Senate blocked a bill that would have expanded background checks. The poll showed 50 percent of voters still believe Congress should pass laws to protect the public from gun violence, while 39 percent say the opposite. But there is a huge partisan divide. Among Republicans, 65 percent don't see new laws as necessary. And the survey could help explain why applications for gun permits have hit record highs and retailers report ammo has been flying off the shelves. Not only are gun owners worried about new gun laws, but the poll suggests some voters think a revolution could be on the horizon. Asked whether an armed revolution might soon be necessary to protect liberties, 29 percent said yes. Another 47 percent said no, while the rest were either unsure or declined to answer. Of those who said yes, 44 percent were Republicans. Most of those who said yes also did not support more gun control legislation. The poll of 863 registered voters was conducted April 22-28. It had a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/05/02/poll-shows-2-percent-voters-think-armed-revolution-might-be-needed/print#ixzz2SBUDvq6d
