    HIT IT Fellas!! :party29:

    Yes. Increased regulations on firearms are necessary to prevent another tragedy like the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary. 37.94% (299 votes)


    No. Laws like this unnecessarily punish lawful gun owners and will do little to prevent mass shootings. 59.39% (468 votes)


    Unsure. It's important to keep the weapons out of the wrong hands, but this may not be the solution. 2.66% (21 votes)

    These online polls are unscientific, focused only on the audience that happens to follow the particular radio/tv station or newspaper making them really very meaningless.

    The poll is biased in favor of increased legislation, because it cites a statistic that says gun violence was down in 2013 when compared with 2011. The implication is that there is a cause and effect relationship, when the fact is that gun violence has been on a steady decrease at the same time as gun ownership has been on a steady increase.

    As the Democrats are fond of saying, vote early and vote often.

    They're not meaningless when they get airtime.

    I hit it but as I was doing so the screen jumped as I was attempting to hit no and put the mark on yes; second attempt placed my mark on not sure, third attempt put my mark on no and I pressed vote. Very shady ******** there; anyone else have a similar experience?
