1. Would you support a Universal Background Check that:

a) Made your health records available to the local, state, and federal government?
b) Made the check required to gift, sell, or leave your firearms collection to your children?
c) Neither of the above

2. Would you support a ban on weapons that was based on:

a) Appearance?
b) The weapons most used in homicides?
c) None of the above

3. If you had to defend yourself and your family against a home invasion, once the invaders are inside your home, would you rather:

a) Call 911 and wait?
b) Have a pistol or rifle with a so-called high capacity magazine (30 rounds)?
c) Have a pistol or rifle with a 7 or 10 round magazine?
d) Have a double barreled shotgun with 2 rounds?

4. To protect your children at school, would you rather have:

a) Armed trained security officers at each school?
b) More "No Guns" signs?

Just a few suggestions we'll never see :mrgreen:
You're NEVER going to see a poll like that in the MSM. They're never going to ask questions like that, and if someone else does, they'll never let it see the light of day outside sites like this.

Therefore I don't give a spent case about the outcome of some asinine poll of "the majority of Americans", who later probably also "voted" for their favorite televised singer, dancer, or game show "survivalist".

Yep. There is a flip-side to this poll however, in that it claims 48% of voter's live in a household where someone owns a gun --not that I necessarily believe the numbers in this poll. Still, that would be a big hurdle for gun bans and confiscation. They got gun bans passed in places like the UK because a small minority of the population owned guns. Of course, on the same page there is another poll that says 48% approve of Obama, so we've got a pretty big hurdle to clear ourselves.
