Please go to CNN's Web site (I won't link it here because of trackback issues) and scroll down to the QuickVote:

Do you believe gun-control laws are an effective way to curb violence?
Click to expand...

So far the anti-gunners are ahead 58%-42%. Our side needs help!



I have merged all of the Poll threads and will continue to do so, There are 3 big polls out there, CNN, ABC and CBS Go for them.
Thanks P man.

May they Rest In Peace
 
no poll for me?

Do you have to be registered on the cnn site for the poll to show up? I can't seem to find it, and I've done a page search for poll and looked at several different articles about the shooting but still no joy.

Suppose it was pulled because they didn't like the direction it was going?

It's still there...

Look to the right side and scroll down. It's just below the hometown weather (where you enter your zipcode).

I'm using IE7. If you're using another browser, it may display differently...possibly not at all.
 
Thanks. It's a lot smaller than I was looking for, and it didn't help that I was looking for "poll" rather than "vote".
 
cbs

Amazingly CBS has this at the end of the article.

"Meanwhile, a former campus police chief at Virginia Tech told CBS News that in recent years the school had bucked the state legislature and hunting culture and took steps to safeguard its student population. It required all guns be checked with campus police, collecting hundreds at a time.

Ironically, the school specifically banned the possession of firearms in dormitories or classrooms — the exact locations of today's unthinkable violence. "

That is the first I have seen the "main-stream" actually mention this fact. Now if they can just quote that VT Spokesman on how everyone will feel safer.
