Done. 90%!

**J. Armstrong** · June 29, 2008, 12:02

I don't agree that it limits us to self defense and hunting, but hit yes anyway.

90% - like it will mean anything more to them than it would to the Brady crew. Still feels good, though

BTW, a big thx to Gary for calling these missions

Don't know where the lost 1% went.

superjc · June 29, 2008, 12:27

For self-defense and hunting- I want to barf when I hear msm parrot this crapola caveat. If the 2nd is ambiguous to you, crack open the Federalist Papers and get the complete backstory.... but of course there's always that other agenda of creeping federalism.

"Do you agree the 1st amendment is an individual right- to publish sports stats and the movie listings?" See how ridiculous it sounds?

Thanks for posting!

I wonder what the SCOTUS decision would have been if the polls taken prior to it hadn't been so overwhelmingly in favor of an individual right.

I'm kind of surprised that they haven't yanked it yet...

Kind of makes you wonder why the big difference in results between this poll and the Reuters one that was just pulled, which showed about 66% Yes.

96% vs 66%, for a similar question...

Kind of makes you go "Hmmm"...

Now now the media's got your best interest in mind. The sheeple can't think for themselves and need the govt. to protect them from those evil tools.

tulsamal · July 02, 2008, 10:48

What's weird to me about that online poll is that they don't give any actual numbers. Surely there has been thousands of votes but they don't say that anywhere.
