Interesting PBS poll on gun control

[Flash]

If only some of the gun-nuts here knew how many 'liberals' support firearms ownership

They may say they support firearm ownership but when they vote for anti gun idiots like Obama or the majority of the Democrats that get a F rating from the NRA then they aren't exactly living up to their convictions.

Looks like Liberal PBS didn't get the answer they were looking for.

Poll Would you support more restrictive gun laws in your state PBS NewsHour

Yes. Increased regulations on firearms are necessary to prevent another tragedy like the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary. 6.52% (1,906 votes)

No. Laws like this unnecessarily punish lawful gun owners and will do little to prevent mass shootings. 92.48% (27,020 votes)

Unsure. It's important to keep the weapons out of the wrong hands, but this may not be the solution. 0.99% (290 votes.

Guess what. A poll like this is absolutely worthless. Any basic Stats course will tell you that.

And those that use guns in the commission of a crime would be deterred if only we had tighter control.Talk about stupid and naive.

Like in Australia with some of the tightest gun control laws in the world deterred the Muslim terrorist from carrying a weapon into the coffee shop. The people in the shop didn't have the means to protect themselves because they adhered to the law but the terrorist had the means to kill people, which was in violation of the gun laws. Who would have thunk it?

Dumb fuck, that is not at all what gun control is about. What it is about is the fact that in this nation, if the present trend continues, there will be more deaths in the US from guns than from autos in 2015.

Online polls are completely and utterly meaningless, as has been pointed out countless times before. The only thing they're good for is confirming your biases, should they agree with the poll.

For reference, talk to President Ron Paul.

But you say that because it doesn't fit your ideology. If it had been the other way you'd swear by it.

In all honesty, Obama has done plenty to scare a massive majority into supporting gun rights. Only Gruberites would think they're safe from abusive government or rioters and looters.

Speaking of a dumbfuck you do understand that every gun law that exist is designed to restrict the right to keep and bear arms, don't you? This is what it is all about.

The fact of the matter is that half of the deaths in the US by guns are from suicides. The US is one of the very few countries in the world that counts suicides as firearm deaths. Not all but the great majority of what is left is nothing more than inner city crime, usually connected to drugs and no gun law in the world is going to change that as we see in Chicago with the most deaths and the most stringent laws. A substantial number of gun deaths are from crazy people that never did or never would adhere to any gun law. We saw that at Sandy Hook, didn't we?

The only thing that Libtard sponsored gun control laws do is restrict the rights of law abiding citizens from the right to keep and bear arms, which is against the Constitution, in case you haven't heard.

Obama should get the "Firearm Salesman of the Decade" award for his part in encouraging millions of Americans to buy firearms by threatening to take them away.

Who said that Obama was a complete failure?

He's been Smith & Wesson's best friend.

I think he also sold about two million AR-15s and no telling how many AKs.

Gun control is a loser as far as political issues go. That is why nobody runs on it and that is why no extreme gun control measures are going to be signed into law.

Which begs the question: Why are nutters so obsessed with the issue?

I like my gun. I'm not afraid that anyone will take it.

Because there are plenty of leftwingnutjobs who are still true believers in the gospel fo gun control. That's why NY, MD, CO, and CA all got themselves spanking new restrictions that make no sense and havent helped anyone.

Gun-nuts.......................

.45 Caliber Peanuts -- Roasted peanuts seasoned with garlic and sea salt, it's a caliber you can't resist.
Automatic Almonds -- Almonds coated with siracha seasoning, you'll automatically reach for another handful.
Shotgun Shell(ies) -- In the shell sunflower seeds infused with ranch dressing taste, it's a shot to your taste-buds
Mixed Mass Destruction -- Our mix of cashews, filberts and pecans flavored with real jalapeno peppers, go ahead, destroy them.
Pistachio Pepper -- Shelled pistachios with habenero, now that's some good pepper spray.

It's rigged with multiple votes by the same people, or maybe it IS accurate and contrary to the threads on this board to abolish gvt funding for PBS, many more Right Wingers watch PBS than has been conjectured on this board?

There are 8-9,000 gun murders each year....there are an average of 1.6 million times a year that guns are used to stop violent criminal attack and save lives...so no....guns aren't the problem and 1.6 million times a year they are a solution to violent crime....

And gun crime is going down, not up....

Don't worry....Pew confirms that more people respect gun rights now than they have in the last 20 years......

More guns=l;ess crime.
Gun control is the most disproven public policy in history.

Gun control is the most disproven public policy in history.

Which is why the anti gunners are irrational in their fear of guns.....if only they would wear tin foil hats and leave the rest of us alone....

That is exactly what it was about there. Now the pot is being forced to admit they are calling the kettle black.

Obama threatened to take my guns away? When did this happen? Why don't you post up a credible link showing me where Obama threatened to take away my guns. I want to read about that.
