POLL: Reinstate Assault Weapon Ban.

Hello,

There is a poll running on one of the NBC news websites asking if we think that congress should reinstate the AWB that expired in 2004.

Follow the link and scroll down, the poll is on the R.H. side of the page. doubleUdoubleUdoubleU.nbc10.com/index.html

Please Hammer This One Folks and Pass it On To Other Sites & Everyone You Know!

Thanks,
Bob

I cant get your link to work. :confused:

I cant seem to find the poll on the website either… Id love to help.

Hello,

The link was made cold by gotm4, and I’m guessing so they can’t trace all our votes to a Pro-Gun Fourm.

Just type it into your browser and add www. before the rest of it. The poll is about 3/4th down on the right.

I found it after a little diggin. :wink:

Got it done…

Should Congress reinstate the federal ban on assault weapons that was enacted in 1994 but not renewed after lapsing in 2004?
Choice Votes Percentage of 6320 Votes
Yes 1664 26%
No 4656 74%

Good to see that it is 74% against a new ban so far. :cool:

This is a local poll for us in NJ/Philly, as NBC10 is the South Jersey/Philadelphia affiliate. Obviously it was prompted by the recent idiotic rantings of Gov. Rendell and Mayor Nutter after the police officer was killed. Never mind he was killed with an SKS using a 10 round fixed mag, a weapon not included in the ban they are pushing for.

Once again, deflect the blame on an inanimate object, not the bad people. And the city itself is just becoming a disaster anymore, being slowly destroyed by the democrats. More non-accountability.

DUN as in Done…

Yes it’s good to see that 74% are agaist it, but at the time that I voted, I also saw 1683 idiots who voted yes. :o

These polls are next to worthless.

No credible body would ever use these to determine anything. Statisticians would laugh out loud no matter what the results showed…and rightly so.

It’s a nice marketing gimmic by cable news to get you to go to their sites…and give you a warm fuzzy that you’re somehow “involved.”

Ahh, another synic. Most things it seems today are not intended to make anything better just to make you feel better

No, it is called creating news stories. Create a poll and if it goes the way they want than they can run a story about the poll and it’s results. Since it isn’t going the way they want it will be buried for a week or two before they decide to take a different angle of attack.

I’ve never seen any of these “straw” (by definition unscientific) polls referred to in any kind of legitimate news story saying “x number of americans believe in yadda yadda.” Pundits like Lou Dobby, Keith Uberqueer and Ill O’Reilly might use them but then their credibility is pretty nil…as is anyone who thinks this poll calculates anything other than the number of script kiddies and links to other sites.

There is a difference between news and punditry.

I have seen plenty of interest pieces on local news that have referred to the results of a recent straw poll as the impetus behind the story. Mind you this is local news not the national news.

Oh well I can see that. “What color is most appropriate for a bridal shower?” type questions but nothing serious.

A good portion of the polls they give are ones like this they simply neglect to mention it in many cases, or they refer to it as a viewer online poll.

Full speed ahead to civil war. The left doesnt even realize where they are steering the ship.

It’s coming, not in my lifetime, but it is coming

Yes 1727 26%
No 4898 74%

i wounder if the 1727 people who voted yes even know what they are voting to ban.

You mean the one person who voted 1727 times?

Yeah I bet he knows. :stuck_out_tongue:

It seems to me that NBC is about 4 years too late for that poll.

Someone or something on a much higher plain of existence needs to tell them NO!, pat their heads and send them to bed.

Just a bunch of ignorant children who speek out of turn without out proper facts and have somehow found their way into the position of running a country full of people… Very sad.
Its not hard to see these signs of ignorance in regular people in todays society either… Also very sad.

Needless to say but, Im afraid for my childrens future. Teaching them right from wrong will hopefully help them dodge stuipidy as it flies about. Will teaching them a disciplined and moral life style beget a revolution though? Givin’ the obvious “steering” (as you put it) of the ship into the future. It scares me, how much can a person take? I mean seriously.
