CNN gun control poll

[GIJEW]

I don't see a poll...

Well I've voted three times already so I don't see how this is very effective whatsoever. However, the fact that I (and many others no doubt) took the time to do that shows how much people are tired of gun control.

Edit: Excuse me, I made a mistake. It allows one vote per IP address from the users computer. I voted from different devices earlier.

Cam mentioned this poll on his show last night.

Voted. The No crowd is still 69%. Of course one person could vote 2,000 times, so it's a silly exercise to begin with.

Voting two thousand times isn't all that easy if they only count one per IP address. Unless you got some serious proxy moxy.

...Found another poll you might want to hit: Poll: Gun control legislation under Obama? | MSNBC

Just hit this one....

51% No, the existing gun laws are fine the way they are. (14K votes)
43% No, although I wish it would pass. (11K votes)
6% Yes, I'm optimistic. (1,690 votes)

Totally crappy wording. Where is the option to repeal existing firearm restrictions? Nowhere.

[h=3]Do you think meaningful gun control legislation will pass under President Obama?[/h]
It's a trick question. I don't agree that gun laws are fine the way they are. They're too restrictive. As a society, we shouldn't allow people to murder, assault, or threaten. That's all that's needed. So where's the option for "No. We have too many gun laws as it is" ?

You do realize that the poll was on MSNBC, right?
