Now according to a recent poll, only 19% of persons polled are in favor of banning handguns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s also unified 160 Senators (and counting) against his unconstitutional vaccine mandate. That&#8217;s a surprise too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some 53% of a recent politico poll believe that Biden is not mentally fit for the position of President. Wow!
