Why 4% of the American Public is Crushed About Obama's Gun Control Failure

The impression from the news media and Democrats is that the entire nation is licking its wounds after the president’s gun control defeat. More accurately, folks are yawning.

Only 1 out of 25 Americans believe guns/gun control is the most important issue facing the nation. The economy once again comes out as the people’s top concern.

CNS News reported the results of the Gallup poll from April 4-7. The polling firm surveyed 1,005 adults by telephone and asked, “What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?
Here are the results:






This isn’t to say that only 4% care about gun rights and laws, but rather that the administration’s priorities are again out-of-whack. As if to signal that the economy is just not that big a problem to the administration, the president has been on his perpetual campaign trail to push through an ultimately failed gun control package that was never sold as an effective way to reduce murder and violence.

Just like after the great housing market crash and the unemployment fallout in 2008-2009, the president focused on costly new measures instead of allowing the private sector to do what it has always done: create decent-paying jobs and lower unemployment to its historic 5% level.

Soon the president will be pushing through an immigration bill that will effectively add millions of poor people to the welfare rolls who came to America illegally in order to find jobs. No one is blaming those people; but blowing a trillion more in entitlements on providing for more citizens is fiscally irresponsible.

Overall, there are a ton of national issues that need to be seriously addressed, and the president is pushing his progressive program without actually addressing them. Just like when you stand on the edge of a cliff, sometimes moving “forward” is not the particularly wisest choice.
