Funny how 86% feel the ban was rightfully allowed to expire but only 16% voted the other way......how did the ban get voted in in the first place if that pole is an accurate meter of the publics feelings......  :roll: this is truely pathetic folks.....it's really  sad we let that theoretical 16% bunch of dumba$$eS dictate to us our futures :cry:  I'm really worried about this election coming up...really really really worried.....I'm afraid that the complacent theoretical 86% will again stay home and watch TV instead of voting..... I think it's borderline criminal not to vote if you can!!! :evil: If all the "thinking" population gets out and votes crap like the assault weapons ban would not even be possible to bring into law. Time to wake up people!!! Please!!!! WAKE UP!!!!! I know I'm preaching to the choir but ....

Deadeye47,

It could be that the URL for this poll was sent around to firearms & hunting sites, and that we all answered it favorably for us, while the anti-gunners didn't do so.  That could skew the results big time.  I would be more impressed with the figures if it was a random sampling of the population, both from the big city as well as those in smaller and/or rural communities.

Funny
When I submitted my votes it said permission denied for results??

[Deadeye47]

.......pulled the results so the public wouldn't see the rediculously OVERWHELMING numbers against the liberal point of view.......typical :x

I got the same thing.  They might have done something so that only her constituants could vote based on the locality of your IP address.

It worked for me.....

She is a Democrat....the poll isn't going the way they want. Will be surprised if it stays up long.  Certainly won't hear about it in the liberal media.

Congresswoman Susan Davis Statement on the Expiration of the Assault Weapons Ban

Washington, DC - Congresswoman Susan Davis issued the following statement on the assault weapons ban that is set to expire at midnight tonight. Davis is a co-sponsor of legislation to renew and strengthen the ban.

“With so much concern about whether America is safer, it is hard to imagine the expiration of the assault weapons ban aiding in the goal of a safer America.

“I am disappointed that the House Leadership chose to ignore the will of a majority of Americans and the majority of gun owners and let the ban expire.

“The assault weapons ban was a common sense, gun safety law that not only should be renewed but should be strengthened.”

A leftist from Commiefornia, it figures. That may be the reason for the questions designed to find out if you're generally pro-gun or pro-ban, so she knows that the voters in the poll are just a bunch of gun nuts to be ignored.

I wrote a letter to our other commie rep, Senator Fienstien, about this same issue.  I asked her to prove that this law ever reduced crime.

She finally wrote me back and for the most part simply stated she'll never give up the gun control fight.  She did make a claim that during the ban, assault weapon tracings to crime was reduced buy one third.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what that means, but I'm positive it does NOT say any crimes were reduced by one third.

Funny, to me you don't anyone publishing ANY detailed facts that show how that ban was a crime reducer.  In Los Angeles, CA, in fact the was an LA Times article talking about how gunshot homicides had gone down, BUT homicides in general had risen by about 4%.

Like I told our great Senator, does this mean that when someone want to kill bad enough they'll find a way?  It sure does, and it proves the weapons are not the enemy, just a tool in the wrong hands.

I'm sure she'll sign some law here to release prisoners early to help prison overcrowding issues too.  That'll help crime!!!!

The survey has been pulled.... now there's a big surprise.  :roll:

Deadeye47 has good reason to fear the outcome of this election. If Kerry wins he will try to hand the United States over to the United Nations and we will all be under the thumb of gun hating power hungery group of elitist that will have power and jurisdiction to try and to prosecute US citizens for any manner of "crimes" that they see fit.  They will even have final say over our own Supreme Court.
