[Roundballer]

For once I would like to see polling on repealing unconstitutional firearms laws and restricting the ATF to what is in law, not what they can "rule" on.

1) I would stand with shooting victim Alison Parker’s father, who has called for action on gun control.
Agree strongly 30%
Agree somewhat 2%
Disagree somewhat 3%
Disagree strongly 65%
Total votes: 2896

2) Once again this case proves that guns are not the real problem.
Agree strongly 68%
Agree somewhat 3%
Disagree somewhat 5%
Disagree strongly 24%
Total votes: 2835

3) I will contact my representatives in Congress to make my feelings known about gun ownership and gun control.
Certainly 55%
Maybe 15%
Doubtful 12%
No 18%
Total votes: 2639

4) I’m a responsible gun owner who also believes that universal background checks would not undermine the 2nd Amendment.
Agree strongly 17%
Agree somewhat 6%
Disagree somewhat 5%
Disagree strongly 52%
I don't own guns but I do believe that's true 21%
Total votes: 2735

So far, pro-2A have it.

"I don't own guns but I do believe that's true" - 22%
So basically 1 out of 4 people think "I don't have a dog in this fight, and I have no real knowledge of the topic... but this is my opinion and you're going to listen to it!"

EDIT: I guess it's closer to 1 out of 5. 11 out of 50 would be correct, but at that point i'd just stick with "22%"

"Heavily divided"?????

[DrScaryGuy]

yes, there was a heavy division. Our side got the heavy part, their side got the light part.
more than 2 to 1 isn't even close.
