Pretty optimistic of you....

OGCUJO....KILL THAT FUCKING HOT LINK

Is it at all possible for a moderator or administrator to pull that hot link out of there?

I went to one of the WVM. with American Shooter Supply and the lead speaker was bad mouthing private sale of firearms, either one on one from one law abiding citizen to another or sales through the news papers. He praises how great the FFL system and a crook would never get a weapon if all firearm purchases were through an FFL..........Well you can see who's trying to line his pockets!BS FLAG

I doubt they will take your letter seriously if you can't even spell "speech" properly. How about spell-check first before sending?

Quoted: Letter I just wrote to them. I'm writing to you to let you know some facts about the "brady campaign" link that you have linked under the poll about banning assault weapons.  The brady campaign has absolutely no problem using lies to accomplish their goals.  They continually spread lies and propoganda to try and sway public opinion.  I request that in the interest of responsible, UNBIASED journalism you either remove that link or add one to the NRA or even to the FBI website where actual facts can be found that show the Brady's lies.  While you and I are obviously entitled to free speach I believe that as a journalists you should only report facts and let people make their own opinion.       By linking to the Brady Campaign website you are putting out lies that skew your poll and it is irresponsible to do so.  If you would like I will Gladly pick apart any of the Brady lies you wish.  It's easy to do so because I have truth and logic on my side.  The Brady's have nothing but lies and a willing audience that seeks to villify anything other than a criminal.  Some simple logic for you.  Murder is already illegal.  And Gun laws, only prevent those who abide by laws, however unconstitutional.  Anyone willing to kill a police officer, is willing to break a gun law.  I'm sorry to have to inject truth and logic here. But it was needed, I know the media usually cannot deal with that. Dusty_C Tiny work of art if I say so myself.   Won't do a fucking bit of good so I bet I wasted my time.

Did they take out the vote?? Can't find it...

Maybe we have just found a way to fight them through of all things...Voting.We should search out polls concerning that subject and just keep beeting them at their own game of fake ass polling.

Did you read the rest of the articles?

Yep, criminals don't steal them, they get them at gunshows and newspaper ads.

Gunman Used Low Cost Assault Weapon
Feb 2, 2006, 08:24 PM CST  




The gunman used a high-powered, low cost knock-off assault rifle in Wednesday's deadly shootout. Amir Crump opened fire shooting and reloading a number of times, an estimated 50 rounds in all. Police train for these types of situations and they're prepared to deal with them, but they still never really expect them.

Ron Montoya, with American Shooter Supply, said, "I think our department is very well armed and very well trained and I don't see that there is anything out there on the market that can really compete with what we have in our law enforcement armory today."

Help to Sgt. Henry Prendes came from a plain clothes officer. The officer, who heard the call, came to the scene with his own high-powered AR-15 rifle and was wounded in action.

Ron Montoya said. "We do sell a lot of these to the officers for situations like this, and as little as they have to be used, there are instances, like yesterday, where they were used."

Montoya owns American Shooter Supply. He sells weapons to police officers and law-abiding citizens, but he says a lot of weapons get into the wrong hands because the buyers are able to bypass the checks and balances I think he means criminals   . "Unfortunately, there are still a lot of gaps out there such as newspaper purchases and gun shows where they're not governed. And most of these crime-related incidents purchase their firearms through gun shows, or through the newspapers, places that aren't regulated."And that means guns on the streets with no record of who owns them. Anyone who wants to buy a gun or rifle at American Shooter Supply must go through a background check, provide basic identification and be at least 21 years old.

"This is all the info obtained by the state from an indivdual buying a rifle. I think the way they have it down now, it's a good check system." It's a system Montoya believes should be the only means of obtaining a gun.

Another problem are copycat assault weapons. According to a report from a group called the Violence Policy Center, Nevada, Arizona and Utah have the largest concentration of these copycat manufactures in the country. They make mostly cosmetic changes to banned weapons and then market them as "post-ban" guns.

Freedom of the press at its finest. WTF is a copycat, or knock off assault weapon? Airsoft? "Post ban"? That doesnt even mean anything anymore. That is like saying post prohibition vodka

If you agree that it is wrong that they removed the poll from their website because it wasn't going the way they wanted, feel free to email the people below to express your opinion on the matter.

Copy cat as in AR 15 the copy civilian version of the M16 rifle.

I've seen 5 stupid posts by you in the last 15 minutes.  Noone needs your noob sarcasm, got it?  What variablebinary is talking about is just how stupid the news and press are and how they throw all sorts of names back and forth when they don't know what they are talking about.

You got too technical in your response.  You act like VB doesn't know anything about what you spewed and werse, you assume the news media does.  

Quit being a smartass.

Thanks man I'll hit them up with a couple of faxes/emails and calls

I just got a response from them:




FYI, we had the poll up for a few days and had lots of votes -- 1,800. We usually don't keep a poll up more than two days which was also the case with this one. As you are probably well aware, it is not a scientific poll and we don't treat is as such nor should anyone else. I am just happy that people take the time to voice their opinion whatever it is. Our results were 70% in favor of no ban and 30% in favor of a ban. Thanks for writing.

HAHAHAHAHAH.

Funny, so basically they are saying this poll means nothing but if it went the other way they would be trying to use it to influence public opinion.
