The Question is:
"Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?"

Of course not.....it's a representation of how real Americans feel about the 2nd Amendment.

It's been up since Nov 07.
But it's a trick question, the historically accurate answer is NO. The 2A acknowledges a GOD GIVEN right.
But I answered yes as well, you can't expect the media to get it right.

It still feels good to vote "Yes".

The poll was back in 2007 but they it left it on-line, not to measure the response about 2nd Amendment, but to observe how information ebbs and flows around the Internet. The poll numbers are meaningless.

May I make a suggestion?

When somebody sends you a link to a poll, first go to the organization's home page (like USAToday) and try to find a "drill down" (a link) to the poll. If you can't find a link from the news organizations page, then either it's an old, out-of-date, or it's a hoax.

Some of these are actually trying to plant viruses and such. I rarely, just blindly click on links people send until I scope out the validity of them.
