Politico leans left, as does the bulk of its readership. Let's stay sharp anyway; remember "Never let a crisis go to waste"? Yeaah, that guy is still in office.

47%/48% with 2% not sure.

 

[Panzercat]

Let your heart not be troubled. The Daily Mail has a running poll as well-- "Should gun owners face tougher restrictions in wake of Aurora shooting?"

It's currently running 26% Yes, 74% No.

No, every one of these polls is important and the more anti the source the more important the poll.

 

[Mauser lover]

47% yes
49% no
2% maybe

I would favor an assault weapon Un-ban.
Maybe something like letting people have real full auto firearms... An autoloading firearm is not an Assault Weapon!

It isn't even a weapon unless it is used to hurt someone!

45% "yes" in favor of AWB
51% "no" opposed to AWB
2% "maybe" (?)
0% not sure

[MachIVshooter]

54% no, 42% yes

However, you can vote as many times as you want in this poll. Worthless. None of these news site polls matter, anyway. The official polls have shown for some time now that a large majority of Americans do not favor stricter gun laws, and we even have Obama saying in the wake of this incident that he doesn't believe we need new laws, just need to use what we have on the books already. I'm not particularly worried on the national level.

State level? I dunno. Hickengoober is a lefty looney, and he may very well try something. But then again, gun control measures have been very costly to the Democrats over the last two decades, so maybe he'll think twice. And we do have a Republican controlled house.

Clicked on the link and didn't get to the poll. Read an interesting statement by Ice-T about views on the right to bear arms instead. Seems to me he is in favor. He never mentions hunting.

 

[Old Dog]

Yep. In a short interview column on the Politico site, Mr. Ice-T states that "guns are the last defense against tyranny." He "defended his right to pack heat" as the writer said ... Good on him. Not a fan of his music, but he's done some decent acting.
