Be sure to read it each time. I wouldn't put it past those sneaky bastards to change the wording around. You know, like changing it to "Do you disagree" If you're used to just clicking "yes", you might be helping out the wrong side.

I like that poll as well. If only we could get a link to MSI or MDS on that page. Might drive some traffic since it appears that 71% of respondents think that laws are too restrictive.

It would seem from the simple questions and responses that somewhere between 65% and 75% of folks feel the laws are both unconstitutional and too restrictive. Whatever happened to government of the people, by the people and for the people? If a change to the current handgun laws were voted on it would pass with no problem at all according to these figures.
