Some of the recent polls are almost like ambush interviews. I think the poll of "who should own guns" and "should Felons own guns?" should have a few days of disscussion first, before it is "put to a vote" so to speak. The wordings of the poll questions can be worked out first. If the Brady bunch, looked at the "who should own a gun"?, they would have seen the question answer:
None, minus the military. Since none is = zero and substracting the number the military buys each year will leave a total of a minus number, the Bradys would conclude we are for some gun removal each year. Now, this is NOT what the author meant, but it is what he wrote. This could be debated before the poll. Any typos could be corrected.
Here are some quotes from the recent poll of "should Felons own guns? I will put forth the question: Do you really mean "possess guns"? Currently, if terrorists are attacking a city, a Felon cannot pick up a gun from a fallen gun owner and help the people defend themselves. He would not own the gun, but he would possess it, another Felony. In a more likely situation, if a store owner is shot, can a Felon pick up his gun to defend the dead store owner's little girl who then wanders into the store.
Is that what the poll meant or are some circumstances ok.
Concerning Felons, here are some sample answers. These are good points and might have been better before the vote or poll. Why debate after the election, so to speak?
I would like to see debate about this. Many people do Felonies, much fewer are Felons. You must be cought and prosecuted to be a Felon. If the law became so tightly written that everyone committed a Felony somehow, then no one could own guns. I am certain I committed Felonies just by passing through some States with a cetain gun in my posession. Now am I a Felon too? Or must I be convicted first.
This is for opinion polls only. A question like "do you have a .22 or your first gun is just a personal fact, not up for debate.
