Right on, Bro!srothstein wrote:There is an interesting thing to look at in the voting. First, it is obvious that not everyone who voted is selecting four items. At the time I write this, there are 510 votes, which is not divisible by 4. But, dividing it by 4 will give you a rough idea of how many people have voted (127.5 but that is impossible, so round up at the minimum). But since item #2 has 136 votes for it, we can safely assume that at least 136 people have voted. With the minimum of 128 people, I am going to guess that option #2 has been selected by almost everyone who voted. It means it is not only the most popular, but an almost unanimous choice.
We may not know if it is their first, second, third, or fourth choice, but almost everyone agrees we need to do it.
Using the 136 people voting, it looks like more than a majority of the voters agree that we need to get a viable penalty for improper postings of 30.06 and that nearly half agree with repealing or modifying the disorderly conduct charge.
I am somewhat surprised by the agreement on what is most important and by the splits among other things. Not displeased, but surprised. I did not agree with some of the choices obviously and I am surprised at how low one of my votes was in the poll (changing the definition of a conviction). I think all of the choices are good choices though.
BTW, thanks, Charles for taking the time to poll us. One of the common complaints about many organizations' political activities is that they do not necessarily represent what the members really want. There is no way anyone say that about TSRA and make it stick with me.
My three (3) wishes were nos. 1, 2 and 5. Although we summer in OC states, we neither OC; however, if the barrel of my 1911 peeks out from under my shirt, no one notices or cares. Items 2 and 5 are obvious choices.
