Wow, you're really giving them the benefit of the doubt. I mean, thinking that CNN has 654 viewers at this point...

In every poll, it is all about the people polled and the questions asked. This is no different....Keith B wrote:http://edition.cnn.com/

But, of course Keith knew that

Fox News had pieces early in the year stating the same thing. As time went on, support dropped off sharply. I'm not at all surprised that this current poll shows that level of support right after the incident in California, especially given the amount of media attention it has.

Re: New CNN Gun Control Poll
I'm not sure why they continue to run polls just to show that "the majority" support infringing on my rights. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE SUPPORT IT! At one time, the majority of citizens supported slavery, that didn't make it right. At one time, the majority of Americans didn't think women should vote, that didn't make it right. We are not a mob rule society. Just because the majority wants to infringe on my rights, it doesn't mean that they get to.

In fact, it only takes 5 people to infringe on your rights.

Re: New CNN Gun Control Poll
The probelm I have with this poll is it is too broad. Just one thing like mental disorder being the trigger for tighter restrictions and they vote yes.

Chas.
By 12:53 pm, Central Time, the tables are starting to turn. It's now 53% Yes (519 votes), and 47% No (460 votes). As distasteful as it may sound, I encourage all of us here on the forum to head over to CNN.com (just this once) and vote.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.
