This thread has above link and a link to the companion poll which is not as biased and has far different results:

I voted in both. I've already sent my Congressman and my Senators an extensive message concerning these issues but will send another after voting in the Mayor's poll (I didn't take advantage of their offer to forward it for me):
[begin letter]
I recently voted in a poll with the quite-biased options of voting for or against "Common Sense Legislation to End Gun Violence" (here:
https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/113/x101).
I oppose the so-called "Common Sense Legislation to End Gun Violence" cited in this poll because...
There is no Common Sense in the legislation being proposed in this poll. The recommendations cited represent ideas that have repeatedly failed to have any positive effect on gun violence.
I favor common sense approaches to violence which will have some possibility of exerting control over the perpetrators of the violence and will oppose any legislator at any level whose ideas would result in further restriction of law-abiding citizen's rights with no possibility of having a positive effect on violence.
To repeat; I am For, and will support, any action which will help reduce violence in our society. I see none proposed associated with this poll.
I am against any action which serves only to restrict rights and does nothing to help solve the problem, and will work hard to replace such public servants who advocate the same.
[end letter]
As you can see, a person can edit the offensive lead-in to the answer. I did not trust the site to forward my letter, so have sent it directly to my congressional and senatorial public servants.
