About 9% of respondents said they didn\u2019t know or refused to answer the question.<\/p>\n
The question concerning federal politicians defending Second Amendment rights yielded very similar results. It read: \u201cHow important is it to you that our political leaders in Washington, D.C., protect and defend the Second Amendment rights in the U.S. Constitution of law-abiding gun owners?\u201d<\/p>\n
For that question, about 77% or respondents answered very (49%) or somewhat important (27%), compared to 15% who said it was not important at all. About 6% of respondents said they didn\u2019t know or refused to answer the question.<\/p>\n
Turning to presidential politics, pollsters asked participants if they thought President Donald Trump would prioritize protecting and defending Second Amendment rights. Again, affirmative answers far outweighed those to the negative, with about 63% of participants answering yes and 16% replying no. About 21% of respondents said they didn\u2019t know or refused to answer the question.<\/p>\n
Jim McLaughlin, CEO of the nationally renowned polling firm, said the survey results show that Americans still highly cherish their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverwhelming majorities of voters want their political leaders in Washington to defend Second Amendment rights (77%),\u201d he said. \u201cFurthermore, three out of four voters (76%) say it is important to nominate and confirm judges to the federal courts who will make it a priority to strictly follow the Second Amendment, and nearly two in three voters (63%) think President Donald Trump will make it a priority to protect and defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners.\u00a0It is safe to say that Americans are clearly excited about the results of the November elections, and the rights of gun owners remain very important to voters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another question on the survey asked which political party in Congress they believed would do a better job of protecting the right to keep and bear arms. About 59% answered Republicans, 24% answered Democrats and the other 17% didn\u2019t know or refused to answer the question.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis survey underscores the prevailing public perception that Democrats have become the \u2018party of gun prohibition,\u2019\u201d SAF\u2019s Gottlieb stated. \u201cThe numbers also justify SAF\u2019s commitment to defend the Second Amendment in our various court challenges, winning firearms freedom one lawsuit at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

![<\/a><\/div>\nResults of a brand-new McGlothlin & Associates survey<\/a> indicate that the American public favors judges who strictly follow the Second Amendment and politicians who defend the right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\nThe national survey, conducted the week of December 11 and commissioned by the Second Amendment Foundation, also revealed that the majority of Americans believe incoming President Donald Trump and a Republican majority in Congress will better protect Second Amendment rights than Democrats would have if they had been victorious.<\/p>\n\u201cThe McLaughlin poll asked five pertinent questions about gun rights, and the results affirm what we\u2019ve known all along,\u201d SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said in a press release announcing the results<\/a>. \u201cTrump\u2019s return to the White House in January, coupled with GOP control on Capitol Hill, bodes well for rights which the current administration has tried to trample for the past four years.\u201d<\/p>\nConcerning judges, the polling organization asked survey participants: \u201cHow important is it to you to get judges confirmed and nominated to the federal courts who make it a priority to try their best to strictly follow the 2nd<\/sup> Amendment of the U.S. Constitution?\u201d<\/p>\nNearly 76% of respondents answered that having such judges appointed was very (49%) or somewhat important (27%), compared to 15% who said it was not important at all.
