I'm positive the media will try to spin this somehow.

Out of 138,073 people, 97% said yes, 2% are socialists, and 1% doesn't know how to read.

The vote is in the UL corner.

Scrivener, could you please break that link in the quote in your post (so we don't have a ton of votes getting referred from the same domain)?

It appears a mod already has.

Actually, it is the same link. Once you have already been there and taken the poll, clicking it again will only take you to survey results. You can't get back to the survey again.

Thanks. Voted. Another landslide.

You know, I'm sure that pro-gun communities all over the place pig-pile on these polls whenever they show up. I wonder if there are any anti-gun communities out there that try to do the same?

Joking aside it's good to see people thinking like that.

It should be "No - 100%."

This is one of my pet peeves, so bear with me here (feel free to tell me to shut up later though).

The Bill of Rights does not "give" us any rights, it enumerates our God-given rights as Free Men. If more people understood this they wouldn't be so willing to infringe upon them.

Now, I know this type of poll is written for the sheeple and they wouldn't know the difference if it came up and bit them square on the ass, but it drives me crazy when any Amendment is described as giving us any damned thing.

Death is the primary mover of the anti-gun community. I highly doubt they have communities like we do (NES, ARF, THR, etc).

We still have the right to be free from unreasonable searches and to not incriminate ourselves even if the text is erased from the Constitution.
