Please go to this poll and refute Mayor Frank Jackson's stance that the reason there is so much violent crime in the city of Cleveland is, "too many guns are available to 'law abiding' citizens."
Thanks!
Dead link?
Worked for me.
I’ll try IE.
Worked for me.
Which of the following factors is most responsible for the significant increase in murders in Cleveland this year?
A shortage of cocaine
Fewer police on the streets
Too many guns available
Criminals jailed in 1990’s being released now
Cleveland’s poor economy
Murders happen for random, unpredictable reasons

Doesn’t work for me in either Firefox or IE, though it pings OK.
I am not the OP but I am using IE and it works.
Thanks for the input. Maybe it’s a Comcast thing (my ISP). If I have time later today I’ll investigate a little more.
That was fun! I loved the Bonds one. lol

Poll is doing better. Though I did think about the cocaine shortage option!
Violent crime is very closely correlated with the number of police officers on duty. It is not closely correlated with gun possession rates.
42.79
Ping for the night-shift!
Also, the reason there are so many DUI incidents in Cleveland is because there are too many cars avialable to those who don't drink and drive.
