My middle school son has a project due which requires a survey about gun ownership.
He has a survey up here:
There are only 3 or 4 questions.
You have to have a legit email address in case the teacher checks the link, but you can certainly use a fake name.
If you have a throwaway email and would like to help him out we would greatly appreciate it. He needs a dozen or so more responses and has run out of people to ask,
Done.
"That, at least, is my translation from fluent Eighth Grader to Old Guy English." I understand. ;D
Done.
The purpose of this survey was to see if the amendments that were written over 200 years ago are still accurate for our personal needs today.
Below are the results so you can see if your beliefs are similar or different to others.
Thank you all very much

I tried to bring up the survey but it says its closed - I guess he has enough responses ... not bad for a little over an hour from your initial post. Good ‘ol FReepers! ;-)
Congratulations to the teacher for allowing such a discussion in today’s pansy, liberal academia world.
A good youtube expalnation of the 2nd Admendment:

88 responses in total, not bad!
Anything to help with school work. Hope you get an A+ ;)
Can I have my automatic weapon now?
He is going to open it up again.

He was really discouraged. His eyes lit up when I told him to check the survey and he saw the count meter!
Thanks again, everyone.
Just a note: One reason that I answered “no” to “should everyone own a gun” is that I do not believe those who are seriously mentally ill or violent felons should be allowed to own one. On top of that, while everyone else should have the right to own a gun, the decision to do so is a personal one involving a lot of responsibility, so each person should make up their own mind. My bet is that most freepers believe similarly.
You were able to fill it up. Thank you all for your help. longjack
Sorry, cannot get past Q1-no valid answer.
“Everyone”, meaning everyone-even those prohibited by law (convictions of crimimal behavior (rape robbery murder arson etc) or every law-abiding citizen?
Big diff.
Sounds like a poorly differentiated question-leading and skewing. The survey needs more thought. Sorry. The left is “sophomoric” (without thought), not the right.
Babies should not have gun and they are someone. Also murderous felons and severly damaged mental patients should not own a gun. There are many adults who should not though they should have the right. So I also disagreed on Question 1.
The question on automatics was unclear whether he meant fully automatic or semi. Either way I think people should be able to own them.
Done. Why ask if everyone should own a gun? I know several who shouldn’t.
Already taken care of by the Fifth Amendment.
