Post by: bobcat on January 05, 2016, 07:50:33 PM: 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?

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

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)!!

Post by: Eli346 on January 05, 2016, 09:31:22 PM: 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.

The smoking gun?

Quote
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.

:yike:

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.
Title: Re: Seattle Times Poll on gun control
Post by: Stein on January 08, 2016, 11:03:03 AM: 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.

Post by: huntrights on January 16, 2016, 02:23:52 PM: The question for this poll reads as follows:

Do you support Obama's new actions on gun control?
Yes
No

If you are a gun owner and/or believe in the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, the answer should be NO.

As of 1-16-16 the results are:

Thank you for voting!
No 70.3% (5,680 votes)
Yes 29.7% (2,400 votes)
Total Votes: 8,080

Over 70% of the respondents do NOT support Obama's unilateral, anti-gun actions.

I know its cool to see but we have nearly 8 years of Obama NOT listening to the people so I'm not sure what good this will do? :dunno:

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.
