Below is the url and part of an article on a poll of the military on social issues. It appears that on the issue of gun rights the majority of military people in this survey are not opposed to restricting gun rights. I tried to copy and paste it but only the piece below came across, not the spread sheet part. It looks like less than half of the all facets of the military opposed gun restrictions. Any comments by current military people? I would have thought that it would have been the opposite of this, i.e., the majority would have been strongly opposed to gun restrictions.
Respondents were then given five options, Strongly Favor, Favor, Strongly Oppose, Oppose, and Don't Know/No Opinion. [/I][/U][/U][/B]
Making rough comparisons from what we know historically from surveys of the general public, soldiers don't appear to differ much on these issues (for example see Ben Page and Bob Shapiro's, The Rational Public for an overview).
