Stunning Poll Shows Awful U.S. Truth

It goes without saying that a rising crime rate is causing major American cities to struggle. Policies that some claim are encouraging criminal conduct have been adopted by progressive district attorneys, municipal councils, and mayors.
Many have left blue states for other regions of the nation. As large retailers have closed locations in once-bustling downtowns, little businesses have stagnated. However, leftists are attempting to impose these laws in red states. To ensure that criminals will no longer have free reign, Americans are taking action.
According to a survey, 60% of Americans think having a gun is necessary for self-defense against criminal activity. This encompasses voters from all political persuasions. Democrats concurred in 54% of cases, Republicans in 77%, and independents in 56%. According to the same survey, 42% of respondents thought that local crime was getting worse. Merely 21% expressed their belief that things were improving.

Progressive local politicians have come under fire for being blamed for the spike in crime. Numerous crimes have gone unpunished by district attorneys, some of whom have received funding from George Soros. Penalties for offenses like shoplifting and vandalism have been eliminated by others.
The legalization of drugs has resulted in sharp increases in homelessness in many blue states. That leads to an ongoing flow of criminal activity. There are limited choices available to civilians when law enforcement officials neglect their duties. As many have noted, Americans believe they must protect themselves from criminals by arming themselves.

How people in blue states will be allowed to use their Second Amendment rights is still out in the air. Gun control laws in several blue states are so rigorous that certain Americans aren’t even allowed to purchase firearms. It’s against the law in several areas to carry a gun outside the house.
It is probable that voters’ choices of leaders in the upcoming election will be influenced by this fear for their safety. Democrat voters have already shown their recall of district attorneys, whom they held accountable for the rise in crime. Should a sufficient number of Americans choose to uphold their Second Amendment rights, they may cast ballots for candidates who will reduce limitations.
