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.

Here's the letter I sent to the editors of that rag:
amey_stone@businessweek.com
Roger_franklin@businessweek.com

This survey is badly biased. Many of the answers are illegal, other than by a Constitutional amendment.

Do you worry often about being attacked by someone with a gun? - Loaded question; I worry about being attacked in general whether a weapon is used or not. Rusty hammer, bat, brick - is there something you would prefer to be attacked with?

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 availablity of guns in America is: - The first three options are illegal, the forth (don't know) is not since stupidity is not illegal yet. The correct answer is implied in the question - infringements on the peoples inalienable right to keep and bear arms are prohibited by the Second Amendment. The real answer is: Deplorable? - Repeal all illegal infringements of the right to keep and bear arms.

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? - A yes answer advocates a Constitutional crime.

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? - A yes answer advocates a crime against the Constitution.

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? - A yes is Unconstitutional!

Which do you think is the best way to cut down on crimes involving guns? - The correct answer is missing: More people carrying guns equals less crime. This is why criminals are reluctant to commit crimes when a police officer is watching. It's not the badge that deters them, it's the gun!

Why don't you outlaws just try obeying the law for a change?

"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." - Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Molon Labe!
