This is not a scientific poll
Not scientific? Then it is just a poll of liberal leaning cnn.com readers and not a representative sample of anything more. Unfortunately it is representative of too many big city dwellers.
It’s 53-47 now. Once the pro-gun machine gets wind of the poll, it will shoot over the other way unless CNN yanks it first.
I just voted, still 53-47.
I voted…
And then posted it over on the 1911 forums.
Looks like the poll has disappeared.
Still there for me:

Hanging in there at 51 to 49. Bet this will move into the pro-gun camp by the time the day is over.

Warning - thread drift - I watched Jack Cafferty’s CNN special on broken government the other night and was suprised at how harsh (for CNN) his criticisms of BHO, NP and HR were. The guy is very refreshing.
I have also noticed more citicism from other CNN reporters as well.

That’s odd! I just voted. But the numbers are the same that you posted.
Still, for CNN, these numbers are looking good.
I just looked at it and saw a poll about kids in bars and no Chicago poll.
Yes, they took it down. It looks like they had a pretty even 50-50 split on the issue.
It’s moved, here’s the new link. Scroll down. Remember - a “no” vote is a pro-gun vote…
It’s currently 50/50 with 132,000 posted.
50/50 with 132,713 cast.
Thanks for the correction. Voted now.
On the Communist News Network, and our numbers are that high? SWEET!
No seriously, on a poll worded that way, on that (CNN) website, it is akin to asking should ANWR be opened up for oil drilling on the Greenpeace website and getting 49% “yes”. That is BIG.
Of course I added one to our numbers.
Just voted. still 50-50.
