The Gun Control Poll Mega Thread

[PreliatorX]

I think these polls CAN make a difference. Not one or two, here and there, but all of them put together and laid out for everyone to see.

I agree. It all comes down to making popular decisions, politicians don't want to piss off the majority of voters. Unfortunately the anti's are like bad reviews, their voices loud and taint an otherwise good thing. It's important to speak to friends, family and especially people on the fence about protecting our constitutional rights...we don't want to be drowned out by the screaming idiots.

 

[Canndo]

[JohnMarston]

Did you catch this article on the same page on the Bushmaster? You just can't fix stupid.

FOX UNDERCOVER - The weapon Adam Lanza used on his rampage was a Bushmaster semiautomatic carbine, a military-style assault weapon.

This type of assault weapon could be bought in Massachusetts if it's altered to fit state rules, which means it cannot have a 30-round magazine, a pistol grip or a collapsible stock, according to a spokesman for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.

In order to have an assault weapon or other large-capacity firearm or a rifle or shotgun in Massachusetts, a resident must obtain what's known as a class A license, which make up the majority of licenses given out in Massachusetts: 261,121 in all.

The top five towns with the most large capacity licenses are Boston, Springfield, Plymouth, Worcester and Westfield.

The state could not tell us how many Bushmaster carbines are registered in the state.

FOX 25 's FB page has this posted on it . We need to tell that they are wrong . I did . We all can . They are the last station in Boston that I will listen to and unfortunately that boat has sprung a leak.

From Knob Creek's article:

I find that data extremely hard to believe, except for Plymouth.

 

[THUNDERCHIEF]

Still 83%

No it's probably accurate. Don't forget the size of the population and the fact they are not mentioning restrictions so its possible.

What the article fails to say is after altering the rifle it is no longer an "assault weapon". Or the fact that assault weapon is an arbitrary term that has no true meaning. In free states they call them rifles or by make and model

In which case it's no longer an assault weapon.

Hmm, maybe. I hate how they twist the data to show what they want.

i had a very old jewish gentleman who buys appliances from me for his brothers in laws building business (regular customer), who is usually very very reserved and a quiet man...his words and i think they reflect in this poll.

"less guns!? hell no, they should cut the cost of LTC's, loosen gun restrictions and offer tax credits for gun owners...more guns means more peace. Ever meet anyone that WANTS to get shot? me either."

police state much?

 

[Fixxah]

Copy and paste the poll so that when they flip the results there can be corroborating evidence that they are liars.

police state much?

Having an out of work Vet as a security guard(not active duty) is the same as a police state?

 

[508MA$$HOLE]

my no is in!
and again
I quote the man with a tattoo of numbers on his wrist {nazi victim}
"THEY WILL NEVER TAKE MY GUNS AGAIN"

 

[jmh992003]

Do they help? Probably not, however it doesn't hurt right? Maybe just maybe the Pol. will see these and say hmmm its not what the people want (not like they care except to be voted in ofcoure)

 

[jgeebs413]

For the new poll I think bulletproof windows might be bad if only thing done good way for ricochets if a shooter got in and would make it harder for LE to get in the building if needed IMO

they prevent an exit of last resort in case of active shooter and fire alike. Very bad idea.

Safety glass, now there is a good idea.

 

[jtorbin88]

Bullet proof glass prevent snipers in a hostage situation?

Yes, as are burger jockeys with latex gloves at the airport. We don't need the same bullshit we have in our airports in our neighborhoods.
