Don't feed the troll poll.

It's a "do you still beat your wife?" question. It takes for granted that there are such things as "assault weapons."

Sort of a "what can man do to stop contributing to global warming" question.

If we would all just stop defending ourselves then we would also stop emitting carbon dioxide.

The stated objectives of many politicians:

1. No assault weapons (please name one gun, knife or baseball bat that can't be described as an "assault weapon")
2. Zero carbon emissions (just try to stop emitting carbon dioxide for more than 60 seconds).

It would be best for the planet if us humans would just stop shooting and stop breathing...It's for the children.

I voted too. I wish they'd run a poll and ask people to define AW's. Of course, we already know how that would turn out.

Interesting that the focus of the story is to promote a ban on AWs yet in the example story the BG did not use an AW. I can't make the logic leap from BG uses shotgun to kill cop so we should ban AWs.

Good Job!

Looks like we just about have it flipped:
56% Oppose a ban
40% Favor a ban
3% Not sure

One more percentage point and we'll have it completely opposite from where it was when it was first posted. Keep hitting it!
