    Thanks for posting that poll. I just voted and it looks like the "keep your hands off my guns" selection is over 90% now.

    csmkersh-
    It's supposed to and it was intentional. Clicking a hotlink from THR reveals to the webmaster/site administrator that a link to the poll was posted on a pro-gun website, cluing them in that the poll results might have been skewed by the gun nuts.

    Before I even posted this poll here on THR, however, the results in our favor were already polling at 89%.

    For all polls posted on THR or other pro-gun websites, please open a new web browser window and cut and paste the website address, DO NOT click on hotlinks.

    Pro-Gun sites?

    Texpatriate;
    I respect your thoughts so please don't think I'm taking issue with you personally or with what you said. In fact, your concerns about letting poll originators know that response are from a pro gun site are valid.
    I don't mean to be contrary but I guess I am like the wife always says...I, personally, don't give a flip if they know I am pro-gun. I want them to know that I insist that all pro gun folks have an equal right to express opinions and vote. Kipling wrote the "Gods of the Copybook Headings" in 1919. The following verse is from that effort. I will never again hide my feelings under a rock and let the antis tell me that my vote doesn't count.
    Respectfully;
    Al


    "When the Cambrian measures were forming,
    They promised perpetual peace.
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons,
    That the wars of the tribes would cease.
    And when we disarmed, They sold us,
    Delivered and bound to our foe,
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings
    Said: 'Stick to the Devil you know.'"

    I think these news outfits post these gun polls hoping that they'll get the results they want, you know, 96% More Gun Control, 3% Undecided, 1% Leave my guns alone. When the results aren't what they want, they pull the poll, declare the results worthless and post a different one.
