Title: New Zealand Gun Poll
Post by: sledgemeister on August 31, 2009, 08:43:15 AM

Recently in NZ there has been a couple shootings which has sparked a fury by the antis over there and now the pinko media is starting to run with it.
Currently NZ has some of the best firearm laws in the world including the USA, so if you have a little time to spare please hekp our fellow NZ firearm owners out by supporting them in their struggle by voting NO in the current newspaper poll.

cheers and thanks in advance

Voted. Removed the cookies. Voted again. Etc., etc., etc.. 6 or 7 times.

The pollster obviously has a slant toward anti gun. Worded as either "shootings are too commonplace", or "people need to be controlled." Neither choice sounds like freedom to me. Maybe they should say, "criminals need to be controlled." Oh, I guess that they wouldn't be able to sway the poll in their favor that way.

… and voted again, …
