I guess there's some consistency in the latest Elon University Poll, that found large majorities of North Carolinians would like to see background checks for all gun buyers and an identification requirement for voting.
Basically, people want to make sure that everyone is following the rules.
On guns:
Almost 93%of those surveyed said they supported a background check for all individuals buying a gun. Support for a waiting period before purchasing a gun received almost 83 percent support. Although support dropped for proposals limiting the number of rounds in a magazine and banning assault rifles, still over half of those sampled supported both these proposals. Fifty-five percent of respondents supported limiting the number of rounds in clips, and about the same proportion supported the banning of assault rifles.
On Voter ID:
As we've said for years - requiring people to prove they are who they say they are is a popular among Tar Heels. It seems the GOP leadership knows this, as well, despite the wailing by editorial boards, progressive activists, and Democratic leaders around the state.
