Two Gun Polls

[Dennis]

Sun, Oct 10, 1999 J.D. Tuccille - your About.com Guide to: Civil Liberties
========================================
Current Gun Ban Poll: Should privately owned firearms be
banned?
- Yes, that would reduce the rate of violence
- No, that accomplishes nothing and violates individual rights
- Impose tough restrictions, but don't ban them
- Don't know
========================
Previous Poll
Note: The last poll asked: Are revelations about FBI lying and possibly
illegal practices during the 1993 standoff in Waco, TX evidence that
Americans may need arms to defend against abusive government?

60% = 18335 votes. Yes, the right to bear arms is a check against government power.

25% = 7458 votes. No, official abuses should be addressed through established channels.

11% = 3388 votes. I don’t believe that officials did anything wrong at Waco.

04% = 1229 votes. Don’t know.

=========================
Grrr! I can't make this work, but here’s where I got the above article:

Oh sure! NOW the danged thing works and I'm afraid to go back and edit the blasted thing again!

I thought that the poll looked like something I had seen before. I voted prior to this.

will get you to their web site and the day's poll.

I try to get there every day.

I put my vote in.

Current standings as of this time:

Yes: 29311 (19%)
No: 91042 (60%)
More restrictions: 30857 (20%)
Don't know: 810 (1%)
Total votes: 152020

These results, along with the previous poll, seem to indicate that the sheeple are waking up. GOOD!

It's about the same now as when GF hit it; I think we've given a big enough response to get a sample (but don't you dare fail to vote on it if you haven't, yet!).
