There is a poll at the Denver Post on the proposed magazine ban. It is about 1/3 the way down on the right hand side.

Be careful about the questions. The first response is "for" to overturn the ban.

Denver post articles may not be excerpted on FR, so the need for this vanity, that only gives a link.

Good Lord what a poorly written and obviously misleading poll question. Granted, the voting is in pro-gun favor, the wording is horrible.

Important revelation regarding the mandatory background checks.

Licensed dealers would only be able to charge $10 for background checks on private sales.

They can’t afford to perform the service at that price.

Usually $25 - $35.

Would eliminate sales via gunbroker.com.

Currently, the background check is a “free government service”, for both retail and private sales, via licensed dealers.

Mandatory background checks ONLY work, if all firearms are first ALL registered.

It’s $10 here in Oregon, has been foreever.

Free Gov service? Did not know that, if it’s free why are they charging YOU $25-$35 to make a phone call?

For. I oppose the limit and would vote to overturn the bill. 13473 Votes,

Colorado State has been covering cost for in-store sales, by licensed dealers.

Licensed dealers charge the fee for privates sales, either consignment, or out of state transfers, such as buying via gunbroker.com.

How about a little help here?

[marktwain]

Now at 69% for repeal,

30% for keeping the ban.

After Dynachrome pings the list it’ll look better.

[dynachrome]

Thanks, AZ.44mag!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

[dynachrome]

changed, but still freep worthy:

“During Colorado’s current legislative session, the majority Democrats have passed several gun-control bills, civil unions, in-state tuition for illegal immigrant children, and are poised to take on the death penalty and a major tax hike for education. Are they overreaching?’

[AZ .44 MAG]

Are you going to post it on a separate thread?

[dynachrome]

Nah. too general. Too many questions in the question. over reaching? = ‘We didn’t hide it well enough”

[Bon of Babble]

Too Late! (I just got home) — but here’s the NEW poll:

During Colorado’s current legislative session, the majority Democrats have passed several gun-control bills, civil unions, in-state tuition for illegal immigrant children, and are poised to take on the death penalty and a major tax hike for education. Are they overreaching?

This could use a Good FReeping too

Yes. 82.33 %
No. 16.18 %
Unsure. 1.479 %

Total Votes = 2642

Yes. They are ignoring a large segment of the electorate.
2189 Votes, or 82.85 %

No. This is the will of the voters who elected them to office.
415 Votes, or 15.70 %

Unsure. I’m waiting to see what actually becomes law.
38 Votes, or 1.438 %

[dynachrome]

“ignoring a large segment of the electorate”

They don’t care.

[TheOldLady]

Indeed. They want their tyranny, and they want it NOW.
