Poll: Ban Assault Weapons?
 
No 8 votes

Yes 3 votes



The Boston Globe has a pair of articles, Pro-Con style on the question: Should the U.S. ban assault weapons?

There are few respondents at present, with No having 8 votes and Yes having 3 votes.

This is in the range that we usually expect in Second Amendment related polls, with Second Amendment supporters usually outnumbering disarmists by three to ten times as many.

The link to the poll is here, near the bottom.

This is an unusually small number of votes on a Second Amendment related issue.

First off it's a bull$hit poll because "assault weapon " is a term created by liberals to control the language of the debate.

If I kill you with a kitchen spoon, that's an assault weapon just as sure as an AR15. Just cause it outwardly resembles a weapon we also use to wage war, does not make it an assault weapon.

I’m with you 100%, Godebert. It is extremely annoying to be unable to do battle online with libtards on sites like Puff Ho unless you have a Facebook account, and I am a refusenik.

Yes, I had to click to continue to the end of the article to find the poll. It is at the very end.

I only needed one click to get to the end of the article and the poll once I got there.

How about they test peoples’ knowledge of assault weapons first?

No link to poll

A fair number of people are having problems. Once you get to the Boston Globe site, you have to click on the “continue to next page” to see the poll.

The poll is at the end of the article, which is two pages long.

Oops. You click on “Continue reading”, not next page, once you get to the Boston Globe site.

Sorry.
