This probably wasn't what they were hoping for.
A group of gun ban extremists by the name of "Women Against Gun Violence" have posted a web poll asking visitors "Should civilians be allowed to carry concealed weapons?"
The website promotes its guiding principles to be:
1. We have the right to be free from gun violence in our homes, streets, schools, places of work and communities.Is their message getting out? Must we reduce the availablity of guns to law-abiding citzens? Must we try to circumvent to Constitution by classifying gun violence as a public health issue, thereby allowing unelected, anti-gun CDC bureaucrats to endorce gun control policies on America? Is the presence of guns what is threatening our communities? Can we ever be "gun free"?
2. The presence and availability of firearms pose a significant threat to the safety of our communities.
3. Gun violence is a critical public health, safety, social and economic issue costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars every year.
4. To prevent gun violence, access to and availability of handguns, assault weapons and ammunition must be reduced.
5. Safety mechanisms must be maximized on guns that are produced and sold and consumer product safety laws must apply equally to firearms.
The WAGs' own readers don't think so:

I believe that's this years demo-rat theme. Hmmm... Hall and Oates?
Tried to vote, but it looks like the poll crashed! They probably closed it because they weren't getting the results they wanted.
Ha ha!
Freeped.

Freeped, above are current results.
It wouldn't let me vote either but then again I have disabled cookies and will not allow them on my computer.
Me either.
Lord only knows how many women were NOT raped in states with CC because a would be rapist didn't know if the woman had a gun or not. You would think a women's group would be the first to realize that.
