I was just wondering what percentage of people in America either have NO clue or never heard of, what the Constitution and Bill Of Rights are about.

I would think that some of those numbers would be rather high (in my own mind).

I think most American have heard about it in school or read about it somewhere. The biggest problem we have is that most americans don't care about constitional rights.

=========================================
Some years ago I attempted to estimate
the % of population that made the War for
Independence possible. The absolute majority was indifferent, the next-size majority
wanted to avoid any troubles and inconveniences, and the next one after that
was inclined for the status quo to continue.
The people who have made the difference
were ~ 0.03%. Yeap, the dirty little secret
of numerical history. This number hardly ever
changed through millenia. The sheeple are
always and everyehere in the absolute majority, to the tune of ~ 99.97%. Shocking! can't possibly be true, right?
Since I can no longer recall my sources, let's look at the present. Say, the current US population is 250 million (it's a bit higher, but let's use round #s.) Thus,
5 million per state; .03% is 15,000 per state. Do you think there are 15,000 people
per state willing and ready to exercise their
God given rights to abolish the present tyrannical government? Enough said. My estimate, however absurdly small it appears, may be too high nevertheless.
Of course, the above rough calculation is not a proof. But look at the participants
of this forum, say (or other firearms forums), who should be naturally assumed to belong to that clear-minded .03%, right? Hah!

65% - at one time this was the percentage of those polled that thought Bill Clinton was doing a good job!

If was really that low .03%, the bureacracy would have taken our guns by now.

I would have to say that at this present time
it is closer to 15%, this is based on the
tax protestors movement.

The IRS estimated that there were as many as 30 million people who didn't file, this is why they changed their attitude towards citizens, they were losing to much revenue.

We only need 5% of the population to take back the nation from the money people, and they know this.

So hang tough, we will win.

Well, no offense to anyone, but I find that 99.9% of the people that I come in contact with have NO CLUE.

I have concluded that people are generally stupid and do not have a mind of their own.

That is almost exactly what I was gonna post...even what I said earlier today at work. You beat me to it. :( [[ :)]]

I really, honstly don't understand how 99.999 percent of the people I see at the motel and I see in restaraunts and other places survive..Less than 100 years ago, the so-called 'modern man' of today would not have made it past about 5 or 6 years old....

Well, Satanta, I think you can count Gore in your 99.9%. There is currently a bill that would postpone the execution of a woman who was pregnant until she gave birth, even though that circumstance has not yet arisen. When asked for his take on the issue, Gore said that it would be the condemned woman's right to choose. I'm not heavily involved in the abortion issue, but I have to ask: huh? He supports the idea that a woman guilty of a capital offense should decide whether or not her child is executed along with her?

What ever percent of the US population is of the gun-grabber population. These people MUST know the constitution. I mean they've been looking for loop-holes in it for years. :p
 
The people who do have a clue about the second amendment MUST be the Gun-Grabbers. I mean they've been looking for loop-holes for years. :p
