Voted none.

I don't like the back door approach being taken to classify everyone who has a weapon as having a mental illness. Especially where the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, forbids doctors from asking and a database from being developed.

I just have a funny feeling that this would be worse than the no-fly list. Once your on it......forget it, you'll never get off.

This poll is like going to France and asking what language do you prefer. Worthless it is.

:mrgreen: yup WE know that :thumbs2: ... but ...Politicians use Polls for justification of their actions. Politicians like Polls, that's where voters vote ... they must be right...

each browser refresh/reload gets one MORE vote on this one ... kind of like hiring illegal aliens to circle through repeatedly voting, then circle through again; ...you know, like they do in blue States

I think they pay more attention to the more "scientific" polls such as Gallup, Rasmussen etc.

I voted "Some" assuming the poll is referring to all of King Obama's initiatives. Some of the initiatives are quite reasonable. Some aren't reasonable at all.

Yep, purposefully crafted so that the pro-guns will be split between the two "not all" positions and "All" will look like the major victor.

Voted "none". I don't care if he appoints a BATFE chief. . . fine with me, but for the poll, I wanted to send a message.

I voted none... what may sound reasonable today, may open some obscure door into gun registration and grounds for confiscation... I'm not into conspiracy theories, but I do not trust this Administration.
