I wholeheartedly agree this is not a meaningful poll, and certainly not a significant sample size. And, this is not a forum I would ever read, except I saw a synopsis somewhere about the coming changes in Windows 8.1 and I wanted to read that article. In doing so, I stumbled across the poll on the sidebar and voted.
And yes, any time a poll shows the public, ANY public, voting in favor of firearms restrictions, that just adds another stick to the fire the anti's keep stoking. I think we need to hit every single poll that we run across and make our position known. Who knows, we may not be in the majority on all these issues, but we can certainly yell at the top of our lungs and make it SOUND like we're the majority.
No one ever said any poll is an accurate measure of the entire country, but if a poll leans a certain way, those favoring that position will sure take advantage of that fact.
