As if our natural, God-given and inalienable rights are subject to the vagaries of opinion polls.

Three-state majority favors nat’l gun registration, says poll.
How about prefacing each and every firearm confiscation question with the following: If you knew that it would lead to a new American civil war, would you support . . . (registration, confiscation, etc.)? Let's see what the numbers are then.

Or, substitute in the same questions, restrictions on 1A rights. See what kind of responses you get then. And run with it.

“The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.” ~ Justice Robert H. Jackson of the Supreme Court 1943

They can pass all of the new laws they want. No compliance with me.
