As much as I'd like and hope for this to be a mocking spoof, this appears to be real. It is not from The Onion nor The Babylon Bee, but on what appears to be polling organization Rasmussen's website. Read it and weep. The new generation of fascists awaits: "Voters under 40 are far more supportive than their elders of making it illegal to belong to gun rights groups like the NRA."

28% of Democrats Say It Should Be Illegal to Join the NRA

The National Rifle Association is America’s largest gun rights organization with more than five million members. But a sizable number of Democrats views it as a terrorist group and believes it should be against the law for Americans to belong to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA.

Following several recent mass shootings, officials in San Francisco declared the NRA a domestic terrorist organization. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that nearly one-out-of-three Likely Democratic Voters (32%) favor declaring the gun rights group a terrorist organization in the community where they live. Fourteen percent (14%) of Republicans and 20% of voters not affiliated with either major party agree. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Democrats say Americans should be prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA, a view shared by 15% of Republicans and 10% of unaffiliateds.

28% of Democrats Say It Should Be Illegal to Join the NRA

Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Democrats say Americans should be prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA, a view shared by 15% of Republicans and 10% of unaffiliateds.

First, I'd like to know who would solicit a polling company to ask these questions -- as if public opinion on the NRA is not as polarized as every other issue the Liberal/Socialist Left concocts.

Second, here are the actual questions asked:

1* Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impression of the
National Rifle Association, also known as the NRA?

2* Are NRA members more likely or less likely to commit a crime with a gun? Or is the level of gun crime by NRA
members about the same as in the population at large?

3* Following several recent mass shootings, officials in San Francisco have declared the NRA a domestic terrorist
organization, although the decision has no specific impact on the NRA or its members. Do you favor or oppose
declaring the NRA a terrorist organization in the community where you live?

4* Should Americans be prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA?

Among all likely voters, 23% favor declaring the NRA a terrorist organization in their home community,
while 18% think it should be against the law to belong to pro-gun rights groups like the NRA.

Only 13% believe NRA members are more likely to commit a crime with a gun.

A plurality (47%) says members of the group are less likely to commit such a crime,
while 28% think the level of gun crime by NRA members is about the same as in the population at large.

Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.

Republicans (78%) are far more likely to have a favorable opinion of the NRA than Democrats (32%)
and unaffiliated voters (42%). But even among Democrats, only 17% think NRA members are more likely
to commit a crime with a gun.

Low information Democrat voters have been taught the NRA is causing the non-existent "epidemic" of gun violence.  These polls tell us those lemmings are absorbing what the Liberals and the MSM are feeding them without questioning their "facts".

That last question that prompted the headline used the wording, "... think it should be against the law to belong to pro-gun rights groups like the NRA."  That means all other gun rights groups are being set up to be demonized the way the NRA has been if the NRA's influence in politics diminishes, which current internal conflicts could cause.

I'd bet those percentages would closely match the number of people that think guns should be outlawed.
The reason I'm an NRA and GOA member is to protect my society from that 28%, 15%, and 10%.

I would have thought the number would have been higher than 28%.

I stopped paying attention to polls when they said Hillary had a 98% chance of winning according to polls.

I guess the plus side is that means 72% of democrats aren't complete F-ing idiots.

You have no evidence of that.
