Looks like those of our ilk have influenced these results since 2007.

Plus the 'finger in the wind crowd' (you know, the guys who's favorite team is the one with the best record   ::)) may think it's ok to say it now that SCOTUS weighed in.
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

Yes a 2007 poll.

Of course, given the simplistic nature of the question the answer is "yes". 

BUT the question is wrong.   The RKBA is not "granted" by the 2nd.  It is "protected" by the second.  The right is pre-existing and inalienable.  It does not depend on the BoR.
