I would change the thread title, it sounds like you want people to vote multiple times.

I made a comment on machine guns being banned in 1934, and 86, and differated between the 94 ban.

5% of respondents have chosen "Stricter controls are needed for use of automatic weapons."

Pretty telling indicator of the ignorance (and I don't mean that in the pejorative sense) that's out there regarding firearms ownership.

My comment:

There is no permit process for free speech, religious activity, or assembly; and those activities are not constrained with the caveat "shall not be infringed". The Bill of Rights is absolute and is a manifesto of recognized individual rights -- not powers of the State.

There is also no other right in the Bill of Rights that has an age constraint proposed prior to that right being excercised. Rights are from birth, not from the attainment of age of majority.

The current results:

48%
Everyone has the right to own a gun. (678 votes)

40%
After passing background check, anyone should be able to own a gun. (570 votes)

4%
Nobody under 21 years of age should own a gun. (65 votes)

3%
Stricter controls are needed for use of automatic weapons. (46 votes)

3%
Only law enforcement personnel should have guns. (44 votes)

Somone who voted in this poll just quoted Himmler:

Heinrich Himmler "Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA -- ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the state."

ARRRRGGG! I wish that I'd recorded the MTV "Rock the Vote" program I watched a couple of days ago. One of the Democrat pigdogs running for president said almost this exact thing in reference to the AWB!!! BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH Democrat PIGDOG!!! Somebody help me out, please! Who was the liar/thief/candidate who said that civilians don't need AWs and should join the Army if they wanted them? :banghead:

Is this what you are looking for?

"If you are the type of person who likes assault weapons, there is a place for you -- the United States Army. We have them."

Courtesy of Hillbilly's thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?threadid=40437&highlight=guns+clark+military
Scroll about three down for a good quote.

The military is not the only ones who should have firearms, wether they be black powder muzzleloading pistols or full-auto Bofors 40mm's! Nor anything inbetween (like eeeevil sniper rifles and assault weapons that cause driveby bayonettings ).

 

[Moparmike]

Stricter controls are needed for use of automatic weapons. (52 votes)

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

It has been nearly impossible to legally obtain a fully-automatic firearm since 1934!!!!! Must resist emailing station!

 

[Schuey2002]

Just dropped da' bomb..

 

[jimpeel]

Can someone go there and juxtapose the two quotes -- Himmler and Clark? That would be a hoot. I already went there and posted.

My comment: If guns are banned then the only people who use guns will be criminals. A gun is an inanimate object incapable of feeling or having thoughts of its own therefore it is the person holding the gun who is responsible for what action the gun may take. If guns are banned humans will find other ways to kill each other, see knives bricks books etc.....
