In light of the shootings that took place this morning at VA Tech, ABC news is conducting a poll on gun control. I think it is important that our opinion be reflected in this poll. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. No amount of gun control will ever remove guns from the hands of criminals. I hope you will go to the following link to vote: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3045574&page=1 Can be found approx. a quarter of the way down the page...Vote Is Shooting Grounds for Gun Control? |

When I took this poll it was at the fallowing results. No. Violent shootings are isolated incidents and it's irresponsible to link them to gun control.  34,523Yes. This shows the violence that can occur when someone has access to handguns.  14,175 Huh! What the hell are you talking about, oh well I’m going back to my pot! 1,152 Total Vote: 49,850 |

I just voted and here's the latest count: No. Violent shootings are isolated incidents and it's irresponsible to link them to gun control. 39,169 Yes. This shows the violence that can occur when someone has access to handguns. 15,897 Dude, I am soooooo wasted right now. Pass the Doritos. 1,245 Total Vote: 56,311 It is most certainly a horrible, and unavoidable tragedy. My heart goes out to all the victims and their families. I also have no doubt that the libtards will somehow attempt to parlay this into signing more restrictive legislation. Perhaps instead we should ban Asian men? Or girlfriends? |
