PBS gun law poll

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Hardly any sort of statistical science used in the poll to give it any sort of accuracy. But with any of these polls they will run with it if the results fit their agenda. Of course that all fits in pretty well with what is referred to today as "journalism". A "journalist" today checks facts on Wikipedia and a reliable source can be a Facebook post. My grandmother was an editor for a daily newspaper, today newspapers sometimes run spellcheck and think they have done all the editorial review necessary. Could you imagine the crap they would print if the newspapers still had to mind their P's and Q's.

Exactly. The thing about the polls... anyone can participate, but usually the only people who want to take the time to do that are already involved in the issue anyways. Posting the poll on specific websites will get you different results every time I'm sure.

Suggestion: Copy the link and paste it into a new window, so PBS doesn't see a bunch of visits to their site from here.

The results surprised me for PBS... the comments more so.

The problem here is that the polls and common sense tell us that owning guns responsibly is essential and that people overwhelmingly support it. However, the hacks in washington on both sides dont seem to care. We have a government that is not run by the people (as we just saw with the stupid omnibus bill rammed through by idiot john boehner after an election that clearly sent the message we conservatives dont want this garbage). So unfortunately and sadly polls like this really serve no purpose

Originally, you could click on the link in the OP, and go straight to the poll.
downlinx changed it, so that you had to copy and paste.

 

[Bennettjh]

Copy and pasted, then voted no.

94.89% voted no.

 

[downlinx]

Would you support more restrictions on guns in your state?



Yes. Increased regulations on firearms are necessary to prevent another tragedy like the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary. 4.04% (4,492 votes)


No. Laws like this unnecessarily punish lawful gun owners and will do little to prevent mass shootings. 94.82% (105,363 votes)


Unsure. It's important to keep the weapons out of the wrong hands, but this may not be the solution. 1.14% (1,264 votes)
