A better poll would be if we think most weapons should be taken off the NFA list so this would just be a discussion about stolen guns.
In all of this discussion, the NFA items are only given special attention because they are NFA items. If every legal citizen could have NFA items, this would be just a discussion if we think Profire is right in leaving $250K of mercentdise in a trailer behind their store. I don't think that is smart, but it is their right to do so. So lets focus on the government that has place a restriction on an item in the bill of rights and make a big issue out of that. Don't get loss in the hate, and start working on the true root cause of the issue. Yes I believe in dangerous freedom vs safe slavery.
Poll fail. No bacon.

I've been to Profire numerous times, where is this alley they parked the trailer in, can someone point it out on a map please?
Profire should continue to do business as they see fit and if we don't like it we can vote with our wallet. Gotta love Monday morning quarterbacking though!
Edit: As long as they aren't breaking any laws.
Have to admit, I voted in the way you were wanting, Fargo. I don't really agree with what I see as an agenda behind it, but I do see the obvious point of the poll.
SOP needs to be updated there, and everywhere else as well. But not because of the NFA'ness involved. Simple asset protection. Thieves can be very talented or very lucky, and presenting them with pre-made luck isn't really a good idea if you want to still have your stuff when you get out of bed the next day.
Do I lay blame on them for not wanting to be up at 4-5 am stocking that trailer? No, not really. Do I lay blame on them for presenting a golden opportunity to thieves? No, not really. Do I think it's something they should/will change--especially with all the coverage and temptation for copycatting? Yup.
I'm not throwing stones out of my glass house, as I know for a fact they can come right back at me. I have always been pretty anal about locking up the house--doors and windows--before I leave. Have I unintentionally given thieves a golden opportunity by leaving a door unlocked or a window wide open? Yep. Thankfully, no thievery...but I don't think I'd be feeling guilty even if they had cleaned me out.
Just because a thief is lucky doesn't mean s/he isn't talented as well, and visa versa. I know that locks can be picked, security systems circumvented, and let's face it--even with a response time in the 5-10 minute range for police, the thieves can get in, get what they want and be LOOOOONNNGGG gone before anybody could catch them if they're talented enough.
