Return to “CNN Gun Control Poll”
they should, but don'ttuna wrote:I think the CNN polls discriminate by IP address, restricting multiple submissions, though I'm not sure. It does provide some insight to the larger view outside of Texas, CHL'ers or the NRA.
There goes the opinion not based on fact. See, You never know what type danger a bike has, a gun is predictable as you know what end the projectile exits ... bikes are more dangerous. Heck, mom used to use the .22 out in the barn as a teen to get rid of excess cats. not preposterous, no more than a baseball bat around kids.tuna wrote:I might. It makes me leery, girls especially.RPB wrote:You might have trouble up around TOW Texas on Lake Buchanan where in the Newspaper there's usually photos of 6-year old girls and a deer they shot and 14-year old girls in Marble Falls winning National marksmanship awardsI'll accept bicycles are dangerous, but guns around kids as normal? No... that's preposterous.Guns around Kids is as normal as bicycles (which are dangerous).

Are schools the right place for weapons?

The good, law abiding folks here are just as passionate about protecting innocent children, including those who have not yet been born, as anyone. We want to see the same level of protection afforded to our children at school that we, as CHL holders, provide to them whenever they are not at school.

I didn't think that would be construed as hostile. As for first post, what can I say? We all have to start sometime.Hostile attacks and attempts at emotional baiting as your first post is the reason you have zero credibility.

Fair answer, Then I'd invite you to read a bit here, educate yourself to form a better, more learned opinion. There are others who used to think as you do prior to learning more, ... (Just one example off the top of my head out of many ...) like Dr. Bill Holda who learned more, got licensed and furthered his education.

pass the popcorn I tried to teach them up yonder how Taiwan and Israel protects kids at school, and I'm armed up to the door taking my kids and my niece all these years, but don't blame an object for PEOPLE'S failure to protect their kids WHILE at school .... It's Bush's fault, it's somebody else's fault I don't like personal responsibility ... blame the ummmm sunspots ...
I don't know if "blame" can even be laid. It's really a failure of the whole system. The shooter went crazy, and only the mom would have known. I do fault her for having accessible weapons if she knew the kid was off, but in all likelihood, she probably never thought he'd lose it like that.
tuna wrote:I voted "all"...
There are 20 dead kids. That's just plain wrong.
Anything less than a real attempt to get at the root of this problem is wasting time.
I'm not some nutter that thinks Obama's gonna take our guns away, but there has to be a way to restrict ownership to potential ticking bombs.
And this might not be the popular opinion, but the NRA has zero credibility here.
I enjoy a good joke That's what Colin Goddard will be telling Congress during hearings ...canvasbck wrote:74% of respondents support some or all of president's gun violence plan
That's the headline they get out of this "poll"

yup WE know that 
... but ...Politicians use Polls for justification of their actions. Politicians like Polls, that's where voters vote ... they must be right...
