Finland needs your help, hit this!!

[8Balls]

OK, after the school shooting yesterday, all the major news papers have started talking about the gun laws... The biggest one has a poll:

http://www.hs.fi/paivankysymys/

Hit it, please. Link left cold on purpose.

The question is:
Should private ownership of firearms be banned?
Vote "EI" which is NO!

Especially the Brits have been commenting our laws lately. Damn.
Now would be excellent opportunity to help your european brothers in need.


EDIT
FULL TRANSLATION:
Question of the day

Should the private ownership of firearms be banned?

Having no criminal record is enough to get a firearm when you are a member of a gun club. The membership doesnt necessarily mean that you really are into target shooting.

Basically the RED means NO and the status quo is maintained.

GREEN IS BAD and meand more laws and less guns.

Looks like you're winning 68 -32.

 

[Seancass]

I voted. The ratio seems a bit sorry but perhaps that'll pick up in some time.

In any case, all of us northern europeans are probably headed in the Britain route. Especially you guys in the EU - although we have been known to adapt EU legislation faster than any member states.

 

[Stover954rr]

I voted!

 

[simpleguy]

voted, thanks for the heads up.

I voted now all we need is a translator!

Päivän kysymys

Pitäisikö aseiden yksityisomistus kieltää kokonaan?
Aseluvan saamiseen riittää rikkeetön tausta ja ampumaharrastuksen osoittaminen esimerkiksi ampumaseuran jäsenyydellä. Jäsenyys sinänsä ei kuitenkaan merkitse harrastuksen aitoutta.

That was quite the stack of polls, I voted. Always glad to help people keep their firearms rights. Lets hope when we win, that they count our votes for something.
may fortune be with you.

 

[Polishrifleman]

Yep I saw that I was talking more in regards to the results. In the previous posts voters were confused on which color they should be rooting for and what the current vote looked like. Therefore I posted the current results page in quotes on my post.

Well, I put in my vote. Truth is, in my opinion, don't think the future seems bright for gun-owners. There nor here.
