Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

I cant help but want more info wizard....been in the medical community too long, they are as famous as the gov't for skewing stats...I would like to see just how many actually answered, how many surveyed....and out of London?..
Lil' Stinker's Opinion
Dealing with the public, and being around gun people daily, I have found that about 1 in 5 women believe that guns are evil and with men, that 1 in 20 believe that we dont need guns..
There really isnt anything "Won" here, just someone pointing out some numbers of those that favor gun ownership and those that dont, these numbers probably havent or wont change over the past 25 or the next 25 years..
What did it do?...Will it change the laws?...Will it change peoples minds about anything?...
How many were surveyed?....2 out of 3 is just over 66%....stats are no good unless they show ALL the data....too easily skewed.....
Where are the rest of the figures?...
I dont mean to be picky, or put a damper on anything, but maybe saying WE WON is a bit premature?....
The web site leaves out a lot, and I mean a lot of info....

It's discouraging to know thta if that sampling is correct, 32%of somewhere near 250,000,000 or about 75,000,000 people in the United States feel justified in disregarding the Constitution and our rights and freedoms. But on the good side, 68% or more than twice as many, think that the Constitution and our rights are just fine.
There is no way this "poll" represents a true sample. Its not possible.
Only the ones who had strong feelings about gun control (ie gun lovers and gun haters) probably paid the $10 to watch the thing, plus on top of that there had to be extreme amounts of ballot stuffing by others, such as those on this board.
This kind of thing is a bit depressing because if you put up freedom of speech for a vote, or freedom of religion, or even the right to remain free of unreasonable search and seizure, you'd find huge numbers of Americans who didn't support those things either!
If I can't spell, so what!
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Hell! The gun war has been raging for decades and will continue for years to come. If you think the U.N. was done in by a obscure vote then you got a surptise coming.
After all us old folk are gone you young people will have to carry on the fight- lots of luck!!
O Lord,
grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can,
and the supreme firepower to make the difference.
That said, everyone here knows full well - more than full well - if the results had run the other way, it would be front page news in The New York Lies and every other leftist anti-American internationalist propaganda organ in the world as being "the will" of the American people.

Sounds like I need a new gun to celabrate. Anyone know where I can get the money fast (and I'm not gonna sell a kidney)?
