[winslow]

moving in our direction now...

[Wanttohuntmore]

I can't read the comments without getting angry....

[JJB11B]

I voted

[Turner89]

I voted also, I was surprised at how many are opposed.

[bobcat]

I voted- twice.  😉

65% opposed, 35% for. I'm really surprised the good guys are winning.

I wonder if the Seattle Times will take it down if it doesn't start going the other way?

If you voted twice, does that make you an undocumented Democrat?

I didn't even know if it would work, but it gave me the option. Maybe it didn't count, I'm not sure.

I see all our sic liberal politicians have chimed in on their support for mr. cry baby!!  Red pepper powder on the tip of his finger did wonders for the bawling effect!!

[huntnphool]

65% opposed now

[timberfaller]

65%

But but,  all the news and talking heads have said all day that "even gun owners are for this new EO from POTUS"  Even astronut Kelly said so!  and he a big time gun owner(law breaker)!!

[Eli346]

Well, it was nice of all the idiots that chimed in with their views. Definitely tells me why WA state is going to heck in a hand basket when it comes to guns and our rights. I quit reading the Times ages ago and it's good to see I made the right decision.

[Fl0und3rz]

65% opposed now

Brings a tear to the eye. 

*Sniff*

*hugs guns*

[h2ofowlr]

These guys are delusional.  Obummer says the NRA tells all these lies, yet 82% of people support it.  Who are they getting this info from?

[Turner89]

69%.   Pretty clear the people are behind the dictator

[bobcat]

Wow! I'm amazed that they left the results up!

[huntrights]

Get your "NO" vote in there before they shut it down.  Pass it on.

[timberfaller]

Ever wonder why/how so many people are so confused and Liberals get MAD when FACTS are used to expose the TRUTH??!

The smoking gun?

Examining all the mass public shootings in the US from 2000 through 2015, shows that states that adopted additional background checks on private transfers saw a statistically significant increase in rates of killings (80% higher) and injuries (101%) from mass public shootings.

This appears to be Obama's "if you like your guns, you can keep your guns," speech.

That link is worthy of bookmarking or a sticky, btw.

[Stein]

Several polls say the same thing.  Most support increasing background checks, but most also believe they won't effect gun violence.  Pretty much sums up the liberal stance.

All of this is just smoke and mirrors to get the ball rolling toward what they really want.

Directly affecting what Obama does.....this wont do anything.

 Possibly opening the eyes of someone who is on the fence over the gun control issue.....that's where a poll like this could help.

Wow, lots of surprises. One, that NO is winning, TWO, the Times is running the numbers, THREE, how idiotic the comments are in favor. Seattle needs to become it's own state.
