Hispanics Overwhelmingly Support Stricter Gun Control Measures

[AuH20]

Top to bottom socialists it seems. Remember that close to 70% support Obamacare. There is definitely a cultural disconnect of some kind which goes far beyond any political miscommunication by Republicans.

http://www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org/html/media-center/pr038-11.shtml


Among the poll’s key findings:

69 percent of Latino voters believe laws governing the sale of guns should be stronger and 24 percent believe laws should be kept as they are now, and only five percent of Latinos believe gun laws should be less strict.
A large majority of Latinos, including more than 70 percent of Latino Republicans, Latino gun owners and Latinos over 50, believe that people from other states should not be allowed to carry a loaded and concealed gun in their state unless they meet their state’s legal requirements.
Nearly nine in ten Latinos – 86 percent – support requiring all gun buyers to pass a criminal background check, no matter where they buy the gun and no matter who they buy it from. Today, only federally licensed gun dealers are required to perform background checks, although 40 percent of U.S. gun sales are conducted through unlicensed sellers.
76 percent of Latinos favor a new Obama Administration program requiring gun dealers in border states to report when someone attempts to buy more than one semi-automatic assault rifle within a five-day period.

True. But this poll was conducted last year. It's probably upward of 75% if taken today. LOL

It's working out great in Mexico. Criminals have guns, while peaceful Mormon types in safe communities are denied access to guns except for hunting or shooting ranges.

Roughly 50,000 Mexicans were killed the last 6 years in a nation where private gun ownership is practically non-existent.

Well, it helps if the nation to the north uses official government policy to arm drug warlords.

[Rudeman]

You're quoting a poll from mayors against illegal guns? Might as well be quoting from Democratic Underground.

BTW there was a gallup poll (posted in a thread earlier today) stating that 63% of the people polled would support a ban on auto and semi-auto guns.

[CaptainAmerica]

Don't know where you're getting your info,I don't know anyone in my entire extended family who supports banning guns. Fuck this race baiting bullshit

[AuH20]

Don't know where you're getting your info,I don't know anyone in my entire extended family who supports banning guns. Fuck this race baiting bullshit

I'm not race baiting anyone. It's a cultural issue as opposed to a race issue. Experiences and environment mold a philosophy, for good or bad. Most hispanics hail from locales where gun violence is prevalent or has been prevalent during past periods of societal upheaval (take El Salvador for example). This isn't shocking that they would be averse to firearms on average or assign a negative connotation to firearm ownership, given their harrowing experiences with such instruments of death.

[aGameOfThrones]

A few years ago a lady got killed who had her application papers for a gun permit laying on her table the same day she got killed(It takes a while to get a gun permit in puerto Rico). BTW, she was killed by a worker she fired for stealing, after he began making threats she decided to apply for the permit.

[Confederate]

That's not totally true. Firearm ownership in Mexico is actually quite common outside cities. The Mexican Constitution also guarantees the right to a firearm within the home (it was modified in 1971 removing the right to bear arms outside the home).


Article 10: The inhabitants of the United Mexican States have the right keep to arms in their homes, for security and legitimate defense, with the exception of those prohibited by federal law and those reserved for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard. Federal law will determine the cases, conditions, requirements, and places in which the carrying of arms will be authorized to the inhabitants.


Of course there are a lot of limitations to what firearms can be possessed, such as the caliber (nothing above 9mm for pistols, for example), but the it's much less restrictive than DC was until Heller.

[Neil Desmond]

My mother is from Colombia and I grew up speaking both English and Spanish as first languages, so I think I qualify as "hispanic."

I am totally opposed to gun bans and restrictions, and that includes conceal carry (to me, requiring a permit to conceal carry goes against the 2nd amendment).

I try this argument here all the time and for some reason it just doesn't float. Prepare to be flamed.

[Brett85]

It's still not a reason to give up on the Latino vote. The fact is that the Republican Party will be a parmanent minority if they can't get a larger share of the Hispanic vote. (For those who actually care about the Republican Party)

[MelissaWV]

Three-page thread, three Hispanics, and no one asked any of us or our families.

I do think it lines up pretty squarely with the results you'd get if you asked the general population and skewed it to have the same reinforcing demographics, which makes me wonder what the purpose is behind zooming in on "Hispanics." Did anyone think to ask if the people being polled even knew the level of gun restrictions in place at that time? If you watch the news, it seems like you just walk up to a table, pick one out, and head home. That's really not the case most places anymore. A decent poll establishes the respondant's level of awareness and proficiency on a topic before taking their response.

It isn't "race baiting" but it certainly is ugly. RPFs does love to put up polls that focus on race, culture, religion, or gender. It's the same thing the MSM positively wets itself to do, so that it can then analyze the results without actually delving into the raw data.

It is the frustration of everyone on here as a minority group trying to still work to get people elected, and to live within society: people want to appear fair, then they divide up the data by demographics that don't make any sense and go out of their way to show how ignorant they are. What polls like this are saying is that Mexicans and Cubans and Chileans and Colombians and Puerto Ricans and everyone else whose nation of origin --- or parents' nation of origin --- speaks Spanish, belongs in the same group. Does that sound right? Or is this another MSM meme that you've taken to heart?

Oh and earlier I did say minority. Guess what? Just by being on RPF, you are a minority... and your opinion is disregarded, or added up so that some idiot who's already made 10,000 assumptions about you can point out that the GOP shouldn't "give up" on your vote.

You might also want to look at a list of LRP's polls and surveys before you give this one so much weight and even talk about acting based upon its results.


Voters are particularly concerned that, under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), chemicals in existence prior to 1976 were grandfathered in and allowed to be used and produced in the U.S. without testing or a demonstration of safety. (87 percent were somewhat or very concerned; 66 percent were very concerned). Eighty percent of voters were concerned that the EPA was unsuccessful in banning asbestos under the current law. Eighty-four percent were concerned that EPA has mandated testing of barely 200 out of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market in the years that TSCA has been in effect.

“What’s really surprising is that voters across almost all demographic groups—Democrats, Republicans and Independents, said that they didn’t think that regulations on chemicals are strong enough,” said pollster Celinda Lake. “People definitely are not confident about how chemicals are currently regulated, but they’re ready to give the EPA authority to protect consumers.”

I'd be just as pissed off if it were a bunch of white Russians or Ukrainians.

I suppose I could be told at this point, "What right do you have to call it your home? "You people" just stole it from aboriginal natives anyway!"

If that's how it's going to go down, fuck it all, ya'll can have the mess this has become, and I'll find my way back to northern Europe somewhere.

Actually, that's an interesting little graph, because it doesn't really break down "Hispanic" other than to tell you they are included in the other races (Hispanics are of any race). The other lines are heading upwards as well. It would seem, as RPFers suspect, that there's a much bigger problem.

[AuH20]

Correct. No one here is insinuating that Hispanics or Latinos are substandard, immoral races. On the contrary, many are very generous, god-fearing, hardworking people deserving of our respect. But we can't deny that there is a vast cultural divide in terms of the way that they view the world and manner in which some 3rd & 4th generation Americans do.

There is something about the American experiment which catalyzed a more fervent type of liberty in the populace than any other place in the world, thanks in large part to the significant private property rights wrangled by the general public. And certainly this sense of freedom is waning to historically low levels, but nevertheless it still defines many who it call this nation home.

[KrokHead]

Most people support gun control because TV says so and that firearms are becoming increasingly taboo. It doesn't help that the media image of a gun owner is a "miltia nutjob."

[AuH20]

True. But how do you communicate to them that Obamacare and gun control is not in their best interest???? Most people, especially those the least educated, will always take the seemingly easy, prescribed solution with short-term, instant benefits, as opposed to meticulously breaking down the issue logically & not emotionally.

Check out this video with Matt McDonald at about 3:20 or so and see what I mean. This is pretty much how the Primary started and pushed on bold as brass right on through the Primary Process. I'm not saying that is where the fraud started or where it has ended it just became clear to me we can't take anyone else's word on anything anymore.

I'm not even sure if I would trust a video of a show of hands.

Maine Voter Fraud - Reality Check by Benn Swann

They were always running off with the ballot boxes...for safety?

Even if we had a system that every voter had a credit card they could charge with their vote and then plug it into a computer that had the tally, and entered or withdrew their vote, and watched it go either up or down, you still wouldn't know for sure the real tally.

Society is over as we have known it. They've lied way to many times way to often to ever be trusted again.


Besides as long as we have some that are allowed to counterfeit the money supply when ever, or for what ever amount it takes to get their way, we will remain subservient in every aspect of life. Every aspect.

The San Diego style of burrito has been described as "austere" and "simple". A carne asada burrito in San Diego, for example, can consist solely of chunks of carne asada and guacamole, or carne asada, guacamole, and pico de gallo salsa, without other ingredients such as rice and beans.

Well, I think what Rand has basically been saying is that before they'll even listen to us, we can't be seen as being hostile towards them. I've always been an immigration hawk, but I think Rand's probably right about that, and those of us who are immigration hawks may have to compromise on that issue at least to some degree. That won't solve the problem, but it may at least make them more likely to listen to our arguments.

I've had some great burritos up and down the California coast and on into Mexico. I think one of my favorite places was about the farthest north I got. There was a Mexican Restaurant near where we worked that had burritos about the size of those presto fire logs. It was like a whole combination plate rolled up in a blanket size tortilla.

I think this was the place but the name seems odd. It's been a long time.

If we had the proper societal filters as opposed to wanton multiculturalism encoded in our various institutions, we could actually bring in the right type of immigrant from south of the border. The type that would want to take a step towards American Liberty and Western Civilization as opposed to transforming their new country into a facisimile of their old. But that horse has left the barn many decades ago. Now it is our "obligation" and "responsibility" to be the world's halfway house with no predetermined ground rules.

http://www.ehow.com/about_4675101_welfare-statistics.html


Welfare is the name given to a set of interconnected programs aimed at low income families. Programs include job training and family planning. It also includes cash assistance. In 1994, whites made up 38 percent of all welfare recipients, blacks 37 percent, and Hispanics 17 percent.


Effects

For the most part, welfare is a transient program. Recipients don't remain on the program forever. Fewer than 20 percent of all people on welfare remain on the program for more than seven months. Another 20 percent are on welfare for one to two years. Still, 27 percent remain on welfare for two to five years. Of all welfare recipients, 20 percent remain on welfare more than five years.

Makes me want to go to Rubio's and pick up a couple Fish Tacos Especiales (with guacamole) and a Corona. Their original store is just a few blocks from me.

Corona is probably the worst Mexican "beer."

Made with dolphin(mahi mahi) or redfish = mouth orgasm. I originally typed = orgasm in your mouth, but.....:olol.


Shit I hate insomnia. 2 1/2 days so far.:(

Smells more like dog piss to me, infused with a skunk fart. Damn that shit's nasty.

If we absolutely have to import more foreigners, then by all means let's import people more amenable to our founding values. Salvation is not going to come from south of the border.

I read this post as advocating hard work and self sufficiency..


Hell, our own population isn't amenable to our founding values. Maybe we should think about deporting those dependent on gubmint.

And this one as stating that many American citizens would rather suck the federal tit than provide for themselves.


Yeah- who needs all those church-going people ruining our Sundays? (hispanics are the most likely group to attend Church at least once a week- more so than whites).

This post, raising religion as a subject for discussion, seemed to come out of the blue to me?...


Are you suggesting that religious affiliations are an excuse for sucking the government tit?


The post suggested that immigrants didn't have values (at least not the same ones as the Founding Fathers). I guess going to church isn't one of those values?

Are you suggesting that they are all on welfare?


No I wasn't, I was actually agreeing with what I thought Origanalist said, "Deport Americans that insist on living off of others labor"...

I've never suggested or even agreed with any statements that allude to folks of Mexican linage not being religious or even industrious....
My statement was directed at those who collect "A-Check" from the federal government....If some of those people are of Mexican blood then of course they should be included with those of all other nationalities who "suck the government tit"..

No amount of religion or ethnic heritage can sway my belief that depending on the federal government for sustenance is wrong..

Polls on this are completely useless right now and ridiculously bias regardless given the wording. The hysteria will soon pass.

This is NOT so in practical terms of Congress making a move because they may use these polls to bolster their positions.

One needs to learn to distinguish the philosophical and normative aspects of such issues from the positive and practical.

It didn't sound that appetizing to me either until I tried one. The breading is sweet and the fish is quickly fried- not greasy. Add the sauce (mayanaise and yogurt), some chopped cabbage and cilantro, scoop of guacamole all in a corn tortilla, and squeeze some fresh lime on it just before you eat it.

As for the Corona, haven't had that in ages.
