Legislators from both sides of the aisle competed in pistol, rifle and shotgun competitions at the event, which was hosted by the Evergreen Sportsmen's Club.

It’s Washington, so I wonder if they got baked first.

Actually, my answer depends on what end of the range they visit.

That depends, on which side of the firing line will they be?

And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.

As long as they don’t try to infringe on mine.

Great to see them exercising their Second Amendment rights 55.26% (247 votes)

As long as it is done safely and responsibly there’s no issue 25.28% (113 votes)

Sets a bad example and is inconsiderate towards families hurt by gun violence 3.36% (15 votes)

Could care less about their shooting ability just wondering why they aren’t working 13.87% (62 votes)

Other: 2% (10 votes)

Total Votes: 447

I guess there are no literacy requirements to write these polls, "Could care less about their shooting ability just wondering why they aren't working."

Or possibly the writer is simply reflecting the assumed dialect of the person that would answer the poll with this answer.

There was a time, and maybe even now, when the house of representatives had a pistol range somewhere in the capitol complex. Many members of both house and senate are hunters. The Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus, which includes both house and senate, is the largest caucus in congress.

Dropping down to the 57% range now.

I think ALL legislators should go to the shooting range. Some on the firing line and others in front of it...

Between “exercising their 2nd Amendment rights” and “doing it safely”, the number is nearly 82%!
