true - they probably *make* their employees all vote liberal so they just seed the vote with that number (ie: 8000) to start with...............

Could someone enlighten me on this:

He also decried a provision in the law that critics contend allows owners of legal firearms to replace the housing for the firing mechanism and turn them into illegal assault weapons. He tied the loophole to October 2002 sniper attacks that killed 10 people in van Hollen's Maryland district, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

How do I replace my firing mechanism housing and turn it into a billet hose? Exactly what are they talking about?

Has it never occurred to these people that if I wanted a machinegun, forgetting I should have that right for a moment, I could just build one, regardless of what parts I started with?

Could be that CNN has some sort of "hit this poll" software in place that figures in sudden spikes in traffic (votes) that substantially deviates from the norm.
