South Carolina residents want tougher gun restrictions

Some recent polling numbers from South Carolina show that the residents of the state are fed up with their politicians' gun fever, even if those politicians aren't.

There is 76/14 support for a law preventing domestic abusers from buying guns and 64/24 support for one making those people turn in any guns they currently own. In addition to overwhelming support from Democrats and independents, majorities of Republicans  (71/17 and 54/31 respectively) support each of those measures as well. There's also a strong consensus among voters in the state (61/27) that guns should not be allowed on college campuses.

Taking guns away from "Southern pride" racist shitstains was not polled, because why would you.

On the so-called "Confederate" flag made popular by southern white racists in the last century, the one that still flies high on capitol grounds even as the governor of the state declares herself baffled as to why these things keep happening, views are considerably more mixed.

50% of voters support continuing to keep the flag there, while 40% are opposed. The support for flying the flag comes despite 48% of voters granting that the flag is bad for the state's image, compared to only 35% who think it makes the state look good. By a 52/28 spread Republicans dissent from the prevailing view in the state and say they think flying the flag is a positive for how people nationally view South Carolina.

Oh, sure. Gotta have the white supremacist flags and the fancy pro-racist-movement license plates. Supporting the images of white supremacy is the heart and soul of Southern "heritage," after all. Can't have Southern "heritage" without that.
