Nj.com is running a poll. As with most polls concerning Second Amendment supporters, it is running strongly in favor of the right to be armed. What is a little unusual about this poll is that it direct connect the recent Supreme Court decision not to hear the Drake case from New Jersey that was all about being able to carry a weapon outside of the home. What is nasty about the New Jersey decision is U.S. District Judge William Walls simply claiming that:
"The risks associated with a judicial error in discouraging regulation of firearms carried in public are too great," Walls concluded.without any evidence that it is so. In the 40+ states that have shall issue permits, there is no evidence to support what he says, and considerable evidence to conclude otherwise. Here is the question on the poll and the responses:
Ya gotta just love those 25 blithering idiots who found the time to check, “I Don’t Know”. LOL! “Moderates” I guess.
Citizens!! We “have the right to BEAR arms”!! not only own them!! Absolute personal right in Article 2 of our beloved Constitution.This IS addressed in the Supreme Court Cases. !!
I think 0.5% of the people would just "Not Know" in any pole.
Should widows and orphans starve in the streets?
"I don't know." 0.5%
dismemberment, yes. divorce,.....no.

Some of the hoplophobes’ comments on the forum there are the same ol’ set of talking points about the “wild west”, shootouts over parking spaces and all the other usual lies. I tried to comment but you have to go through FB, Twitter (what could be more GHEY than tweeting on Twitter?) or a couple of other such, or register with them. I started to register, but they informed me that my user name was taken. So I tried to log in, but apparently they can’t find my password, or someone else has appropriated JimRed there.
