imarangemaster 315 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 According to 2 1/2 million votes cast on the USA Today web sight , 96% of those responding say the 2nd Amendment gives individuals the right to own firearms. Vote, it just takes a second! http://www.usatoday.com/news/quickquestion...r/popup5895.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOXtheOX 1 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Technically everyone should vote NO. Its a trick question. 2nd Amendment doesn't "give" us any rights. The right to own firearms is already ours. 2nd Amendment is the protector of that right. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SOPMOD 254 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Looks like that poll has had it's butt kicked OFF!! 96% Yes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uzitiger 193 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The anti gun Nazis will probably not publish the results showing 96% for, 3% against and 1% undecided. USA Today is a statist rag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Guys, it doesn't really matter. King Barry and "H"is minions will not directly attack the meaning of the 2nd Amendment.. the recent ruling by the Supreme Court against DC's gun ban would be too difficult to overcome. What they'll do is portray everything but deer rifles and 6-shooters as "assault weapons", and ban those. Same shit as they pulled in '94, but this time even more draconian and with no sunset.

I used to think the same way, but he doesn't have the votes in congress. Simple as that. There are to many populist western-state democrats who are up for reelection in the the next cycle. I would not count on an assault weapons ban, more likely a restriction on magazine capacity and a cut off of foreign ammunition. As for the poll, its not a real random sample but rather people self selecting to take it. It might as well be 100% pro 0% against. USA Today really doesn't run accurate polls...

Bizzarolibe 5 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'd like to have a word with that 3 percent ;-) Actually, it's kind of funny. I have a couple (non-gun-owning) friends who thought an assault weapons ban would be a good thing. When I told them I have an AK, they gasped. But, all it took was one trip to the range with my Saiga to free their minds. It's just like selling something: you gotta put the product in their hands. I did, and they believed!

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 you guys know that's a poll from 2007 right? No, I hadn't noticed. I hadn't even looked at the poll, since it doesn't really matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
