KQED reset its poll on the AWB - vote again!

[Vern Humphrey]

It's not a poll.

Polls do NOT attempt to influence the response -- to do so invalidates the results.

I just took it (for the second time). The score is at 6000ish NO, and a few hundred, YES. Not sure if the "resetting" was stopped or what. But it does seem shorter than the last time I took it (few weeks back), so I wonder if they are scrapping the arguments that don't change minds and are focusing on those that do.

 

[Vern Humphrey]

You are very likely correct - what this is is a "focus group" looking for effective propagansda tools.

 

[4v50 Gary]

Don't forget to hit the second link. Those "sneaky" guys have the same poll in two different places.

 

[BryanP]

The first poll is still overwhelmingly in our favor. The second one (I just voted) is now

Yes 324 36%
No 566 64%

 

[Tharg]

Just voted (No of course)

the 1st and 2nd one.

1st one is overwhelmingly no

the 2nd one is 329 yes 659 no

I love how they keep bringing up the DC Sniper - that coward could have used anything - a bolt action .220 swift would have served him just as well if not better than any AR or SKS or whatever it is he used.

Bah - silly people who think that the 1994 ban did much of anything (other than create a starting line for banning other things) can't be in thier right minds...

J/Tharg!

My guess is they won't report the final results since it won't match their world-view.

It whined and said I already voted.

I did, but only on their first poll. Is there maybe a third one hiding somewheres?

The stupidity of it is they didn't use an AW. It was a post-ban legal AR-15, thus it shouldn't even be listed in their 'reasons' to persuade you.

 

[Nightfall]

Voted, but I couldn't find the second poll on that page?

 

[BeLikeTrey]

Am I blind?!

Still don't see it on the linked page...

Different polls (I think?)

Still can't find the second one you guys are talking about...

 

[fmjcafe]

Sheesh, I wonder how many times they would ask you to vote YES?
