A new poll has probably sparked a panic within Republican
Party headquarters in Washington.
In South Carolina, one of the reddest of the Red States,
voters are not happy with last week’s Senate defeat of expanded background
checks for gun purchases and they may be ready to toss some GOP lawmakers out
of office to make their point.

The Public Policy Polling survey was conducted in the
South Carolina congressional district where controversial former governor Mark Sanford is the
GOP nominee in a special election. An astounding 86 percent of the South
Carolinian voters surveyed said they support background checks and only 12
percent are opposed.

It’s rather extraordinary that, not only does 90 percent
of the nation support background checks, similarly lopsided numbers are showing
up in places that are solidly conservative.

What’s more, by a 2-1 margin voters in the PPP poll said the
GOP’s opposition to closing the gun show loophole makes it less likely they’ll
support the party’s candidates in the next election. Some 45 percent said they are
ready to vote out Republicans because of the Senate’s actions.

Gun control supporters probably view those numbers as a
sign that another Senate vote on the Manchin-Toomey amendment is likely. More
likely, it means there probably won’t be another vote. The ways of Washington
suggest that giddy Democrats will use the ongoing poll numbers to make the
Republicans squirm. Then they’ll use the issue to create some devastating TV
ads during the 2014 campaign season.

Some Republicans tried to float the idea that despite the
90/10 split nationwide on this issue, in some areas of the country it’s an unpopular idea to conduct background
checks that prevent criminals, terrorists and the mentally unstable from buying firearms. But poll after poll has shown that big majorities all across the nation favor
background checks.

The Republicans – and some Red State Democrats – have aligned
themselves with the NRA leaders and lobbyists. In so doing, they stand not with
the gun owners of America but with those on the fringe, the survivalists who
are waiting for the guys in black helicopters to come and take their guns.
