I do not use one, but the "Money Manager" issue should be of more concern, for many are turning out to be cheats and thieves...

Notice there's no option to vote for reducing existing gun controls.

What a thoroughly bad poll. Nowhere does it give any options for doing the only Constitutionally valid thing: easing restrictions and eliminating the vast majority of gun control laws.

"Push poll" is right. Do you worry about being a victim of gun crime? Puhleese! Done, and done.

Which do you think is the best way to cut down on crimes involving guns? Better police work
Having more information available on guns and gun owners
Other -> Allow CCW by all citizens in good standing.

I notice, by the way, there was no way to vote for "we have too many gun restrictions as it is."

Here is the "poll," it seems to be a bit one sided an there is of course not a single passing thought of INCREASING the amount of gun ownership and gun ownership is never referred to in the "poll" in the plural. There is also propaganda in the poll, firearms have not been available by mail order in decades.
Not one reference to owning more than one firearm...Do you:
Keep a gun for self defense
Own guns for hunting and sport shooting
Own a gun but never use it
Not own a gun
This is about a useless but revealing question, I answered "I never worry!" Why should I ? I'm armed!
Do you:
Worry often about being attacked by someone with a gun
Worry sometimes
Hardly ever worry
Never worry
Not sure
No option to increase the availability or reduce the restrictions on firearm ownership....
The U.S. Constitution protects the right of citizens to bear arms, and firearms are
widely available via every distribution method from mail order to discount stores. Do you
think the availability of guns in America is:
About right
Should be somewhat restricted
Should be limited to gun shops that are closely regulated
Don't know
AHHHH the old gun license/driver license routine... how quaint!
Do you think that it would make sense for anyone who buys a gun to have to register it at
regular intervals, similar to the existing state-based system for registering motor
vehicles?
No
Yes
Don't know
Do you think that it would make sense to license gun owners at regular intervals, just
as car owners must renew their state operating licenses every two or three years?
No
Yes
Don't know
Ballistic fingerprinting... makes about as much sense as bottling f@r+s?
Do you think it would make sense to have "ballistic fingerprinting," in which records
would be kept of the distinguishing marks a gun leaves on bullet casings in hopes of
more easily tying a criminal to a crime?
No
Yes
Don't know
Once again, no option here for INCREASED gun ownership providing for a better armed population...
Which do you think is the best way to cut down on crimes involving guns?
Better police work
Having more information available on guns and gun owners
Other

FreePed 1824 Central Standard Time.
Notice that you cannot answer "I keep a gun" for ALL OF THE ABOVE reasons.
Also, they somehow forgot to have an option for stating that "...current gun regulation...is: TOO RESTRICTIVE!!"
They must have forgotten those responses when they went to print.

Push poll? Crap, that is as valid as the ballot in the Iraqi election!
To: FreedomCalls
Why doesn't this rag publish the data on Violent Crime, if they are so concerned?
The Bureau of Justice Statistics annually publishes a very voluminous set of data on all aspects of crime,see
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/
The most current data is for FY2000:
Not sure is a weapon used = 7%
Total Non-firearm = 17.5%
Total FIREARM = 7.5%
NO WEAPON USED = 68%
Instead of persuing the politics of FEAR, DIVISION and HATRED, try doing some objective journalism and state what you or any of the other pimps of the election industry have done to help the 68% category!

Do you worry often about being attacked by someone with a gun? I don't worry about being attacked by someone with a gun because I carry a gun and can most likely put holes through a violent assailant before he can touch me.
This poll is manipulative garbage.

Some obervations...
Do you:
Keep a gun for self defense
Own guns for hunting and sport shooting
Own a gun but never use it
Why only one choice? Both #1 and #2 or 3 could be true.
The U.S. Constitution protects the right of citizens to bear arms, and firearms are widely available via every distribution method from mail order to discount stores.
Mail order guns have been illegal since 1968 except to licensed dealers and antiques and muzzleloaders.
