Votes needed for MSN poll.
« on: April 24, 2009, 08:44:24 PM »
At the msn.com homepage they had this link to BHO and the AWB with a poll.

http://www.polls.newsvine.com/_question/2009/04/24/2728669-should-president-obama-push-to-permanently-reinstate-a-ban-on-assault-weapons

66% already have voted the AWB was bad from the start.
Should President Obama push to permanently reinstate a ban on assault weapons?

Congress imposed a ban on what it called assault weapons in 1994, outlawing the sale and importation of 19 military-style weapons, copycat models with similar features, and high-capacity ammunition magazines. In a compromise with Republicans, the Democrats who controlled Congress agreed to let it expire in ten years unless it was renewed. By 2004, with Republicans in charge, support had evaporated.
How you voted

    *
      Yes. We had the ban for 10 years. He should use up whatever political capital is necessary to reinstate the ban.
    *
      No. It was a mistake the first time around and it would be a mistake again. Existing gun laws are enough.
    *
      Maybe. Owning a gun is a right, but I'm conflicted as to whether or not average Americans should be able to own assault weapons.

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. - George Washington

Curious to see if MSN does anything with these numbers..

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams? Somehow I think not...

Imagine if the numbers were the other way.. We'd see, read, hear, about it all day & night.
