A healthy majority of Independents would make a stand as well, 57-36. In a sad display, more than half of Democratic voters surveyed, 52-40, said they would flee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buoyed by the healthy margins of Republicans and Independents, altogether 55 percent of American voters said they\u2019d fight rather than turn tail and run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen confronted with a terrible hypothetical that would put them in the shoes of the Ukrainians, Americans say they would stand and fight rather than seek safety in another country,\u201d said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democratic voters would not only hypothetically take flight, either. They and the gun control groups are \u2013 in reality \u2013 working to dismantle the Second Amendment and punish the industry that provides for the ability to exercise that right to purchase and possess firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"real-time-refresher\">Real Time Refresher<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Founding Fathers preserved the right to keep and bear arms in law for good reason.
