Hit This Stupid Sunpaper Poll

[Threeband]

I normally don't get excited over these stupid polls, but we really should crush this one, like all the others.

Scroll down a ways:

Banning the AR-15
Should the AR-15, the most popular assault weapon but one used in many mass shootings, be removed from the list of banned weapons in Gov. Martin O'Malley's gun control bill?
Yes
No
Not sure

As of 4:19

Banning the AR-15

Besides the nonsense about "one used in many mass shootings", notice the confusing way the poll is set up. "Yes" means the AR should NOT be banned, NO means "Ban everything! Nobody needs a scary gun".

I am looking for the poll but don't see it.. is it in a particular section?

 

[TopShelf]

20% yes

 

[DrSockMonkey]

Found it...

If your mobile you have to see the desktop site, then scroll down to the bottom of the page.

I think it would be great if we slammed this.

That poll is very shady. I almost hit checked "No". I had to re-read the poll to understand I should check yes. Man, these people never cease to amaze me.

The wording is VERY tricky, make sure you read it twice, then read it again.

8/10ths of the way down on the left for me, just a small single question. Yes, we want it removed from MoM's bill.

Let's hammer this thing. Bring it people!!

Hit your <Page Down> key four times. It will be on the left-hand side.

Typical of the SunPapers to bury a bias-worded poll and seed it with votes.

In-Private viewing is your friend <Ctrl-Left-Shift-P> ... Vote early and vote often.

Admins should stick this to the top with some dancing ants for a couple days...

28% yes...

The one that always gets me is Not sure. Why do lemmings answer polls for which they have no opinion??

 

[EL1227]

The ANTI's are clicking away too.

Keep those cards and letter coming folks.

 

[j8064]

Vote early and often.

 

[Stevie Boy]

Was just about to post on this. Let 'em know how we feel.

 

[mdjohn]

vote yes

the question is reversed and had to understand

 

[ToneGrail]

It should be worded, "Should the AR-15, a weapon that is utilized in less than .001 % of all firearm deaths in the US, including cases lawful self-defense, be banned?"

Looks like it allows you to vote as many times as you want
