Just because a majority support a bad idea doeas not make it a good idea and the east coast does not represent me.

What I find interesting is they want a national gun registery. Not a registery in their pitiful state, but in my great state.

They want us to be as miserable as they are.

Registration is only matter of documenting what you have. In Canada, I just got a called from my bro, that some long rifles are now classified as prohibited and I am not sure what course of action he should be force to do:
1) He could not sell it
2) He has to turn it for destruction after he is paid a small compensatory fee.
3) otherwise, status quo.

Funny thing about polls. If you pick the right people you can get a majority to say what ever you want.

:iagree: Yep. It is a matter of who they ask. It is also a matter of how they word the questions.....

And I think that leftists should be required to register so that we can put them in ghettos like the Germans did the Jews.

How about we compromise? If they will leave my guns alone, I'll quit saying that they need to be put in ghettos... Fair enough?

I wonder how the "gun registry" question was framed.... Seeing the context would be interesting.

:iagree: with wheelgun1958. I don't care any more for the leftists and their distorted vies as does the next American; however, suggesting that the Nazi Third Reich's savage, barbaric acts of genocide should be imposed on other humans goes 'beyond the pale', IMO.

"beyond the pale" is an expression that comes from another bit of man's inhumanity to man. Look it up......maybe.

If the good people of Connecticut continue to stand against their new gun registration law the rest of the country will see how that stuff really works. Go ahead and pass your laws and see what happens if millions of people don't comply.

What was the exact question asked? Context in surveys is very important.
